Java SE (Java Platform, Standard Edition)

You create a combo box and use the addItem() method to add Date or Calendar objects to the combo box.

What exactly is your problem?

My problem. is how I create the Dates... from Jan-01-2007 to Mar-03-2007...

Wath I have to use... java.util.Date, java.sql.Date, Calendar or GregorianCalendar???

Thats my real problem...

Sorry if I not explain so good before...

Thanks for your time... and Regards...

use GregorianCalendar and set it to the first date you want
another gc set to the end date
you want to show the date in a particular format, so you'd use SimpleDateFormat()

then it's just

while(gcStart.after(gcEnd) == false)//dates inclusive
{
  combo.addItem(sdf.format(gcStart.getTime()));
  gcStart.[add a day];
}

Thanks for your mini example...

Anything, I post it...

Regards... and Thanks again...

//here is an example how to get the date
//I think this might help you!!!

import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.util.Date;

public class DateFormatExample1 {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Make a new Date object. It will be initialized to the current time.
        Date now = new Date();

        // See what toString() returns
        System.out.println(" 1. " + now.toString());

        // Next, try the default DateFormat
        System.out.println(" 2. " + DateFormat.getInstance().format(now));

        // And the default time and date-time DateFormats
        System.out.println(" 3. " + DateFormat.getTimeInstance().format(now));
        System.out.println(" 4. " + 
            DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance().format(now));

        // Next, try the short, medium and long variants of the 
        // default time format 
        System.out.println(" 5. " + 
            DateFormat.getTimeInstance(DateFormat.SHORT).format(now));
        System.out.println(" 6. " + 
            DateFormat.getTimeInstance(DateFormat.MEDIUM).format(now));
        System.out.println(" 7. " + 
            DateFormat.getTimeInstance(DateFormat.LONG).format(now));

        // For the default date-time format, the length of both the
        // date and time elements can be specified. Here are some examples:
        System.out.println(" 8. " + DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(
            DateFormat.SHORT, DateFormat.SHORT).format(now));
        System.out.println(" 9. " + DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(
            DateFormat.MEDIUM, DateFormat.SHORT).format(now));
        System.out.println("10. " + DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance(
            DateFormat.LONG, DateFormat.LONG).format(now));
    }
}

Thanks to you too...

I really appreciate your time...

Here's a quick trial of a custom component. You can add a variety of constructors.

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;
import static java.util.Calendar.*;

public class DateComboBox extends JComboBox{
  static final Locale loc = Locale.US;

  SimpleDateFormat dateFmt;
  GregorianCalendar startDay;
  int daysSpan;
  Vector<GregorianCalendar> dvec;
  Vector<String> svec;

  public DateComboBox(GregorianCalendar start, int span, String fmtString){
    GregorianCalendar curDate;

    startDay = start;
    daysSpan = span; // days; not month, year, hour etc.
    dateFmt = new SimpleDateFormat(fmtString, loc);
    curDate = startDay;

    svec = new Vector<String>();
    dvec = new Vector<GregorianCalendar>();

    for (int i = 0; i < span; ++i){
      dvec.add(curDate);
      svec.add(dateFmt.format(curDate.getTime()));
      curDate.add(DAY_OF_MONTH, 1);
    }

    setModel(new DefaultComboBoxModel(svec));
  }

  public Vector<GregorianCalendar> getDateVector(){
    return dvec;
  }

  public GregorianCalendar[] getDateArray(){
    return (GregorianCalendar[])(dvec.toArray());
  }

  public static void main(String[] args){
    DateComboBox dcb = new DateComboBox(
        new GregorianCalendar(2007, 0, 1),
        61,
        "MMM-dd-yyyy");

    JFrame frame = new JFrame();
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

    frame.getContentPane().add(dcb, BorderLayout.NORTH);
    frame.setSize(300, 300);
    frame.setVisible(true);
  }
}

Thanks all of you...

I do it...

Regards...
