Java DropDown Menu (JCombo Box)

[jiffi]

hey guys
Ok so I was wondering if it was possible to add items to a JCombo Box as the user creates new arrays:
Say you have this.

mainMenu = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null,"Choose an action", "Menu",//main menu
                JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE,null, new Object [] 
{"Manage Credit Cards","Manage Work","Manage Bank", "Save","Save as...", "Open", "Customize Program", "Exit"}, "");

Now the user "does" an action, that should add an option to that menu. Is that possible?
I know how to change the names what you see, but can I add a new option?

If what you saw there were arrays, and I wanted the user to have the option to choose from a new array everytime he added one, is that possible?
(note: I am only using one method (public static void main (String [] args) )

thanks

Your best bet is to use an actual JComboBox, not a non-reachable one in the JOptionPane. Then use a DefaultComboBoxModel for your combobox's model. The JComboBox tutorial will show you the way.

Do I need different methods to do this? Because like I said, I only know how to work with the main method, which is quite a handicap at the time…

edit: Apparently, it does use different methods. Thanks anyways

I am kinda stuck with my school curriculum, learning java by yourself is not the easiest thing to do.

I know exactly what you mean, because that's how most of us, including me, have learned it: we taught ourselves. With a little effort and a sense of adventure, you can too!
