JComboBox automaticaly selects first item in list?

The best way is to provide your own ComboBoxModel which handle your case. Unfortunately, it is not easy to make this happen. Mainly in Read-Only CB it can be really tricky to identify user gesture correctly.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
