I have a Java program with a model and a GUI. On my Frame (that implements Observer) I have put a jcombobox with a list of registration from my model (that extends Observable).

When I click on a button add registration the list in my model changed. And than I do 

setChanged(); 
notifyObservers();

In my update method I want to make change the values of the jcombobox. I tried with a repaint() or something like that, but my combobox doesn't change. I am sure I go to my update method, but I don't know how I have to change the jcombobox.

Can someone help

Your update() implementation should obtain a reference to the combo's model and either set the selected item or add a new item, as warranted. A PropertyChangeEvent, illustrated here, may be an alternative, as it can include both old and new values.

    Ok thanks that works. I took my comboBox model and used the insertItemAt(args,index) method. – Bigjo Mar 27 '13 at 12:15
