JComboBox/ActionListener not working 1

[gh0st32]

Hi All,

First let me state I have searched both the threads and FAQ for answers and I have not found any.

I have a JComboBox that has a ActionListener assigned to it. The code is as follows...

JComboBox idList = new JComboBox(results_txt);//results_txt comes from a SQL DB
idList.addActionListener(this);
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
if(e.getSource()==idList)
{
System.out.println("made it here");
}
}
The actionPerformed method has several other sources that work as they should. I tested the combobox using a itemlistener and I can get values from it. For some reason the actionlistener does not 'listen' to the combo box. If anyone can provide assistance it would be appreciated. If you need to see the source code let me know.

Cheers

Try to find out, what is the source:

if(e.getSource().equals (idList))
{
	System.out.println("made it here");
}
else System.out.println (e.toString ());
