I have 3 comboboxes in a frame. When the user clicks on 1 of the boxes I want to return the box selected???
 
And why do you want to return the box selected pray tell. -------------------------------------------

If I understand you correct then I guess you want to know which combobox you actually selected from.
Implement a actionlistener...



public class mybox implement java.awt.eveny.ActionLister extends JFrame
{

JComboBox box = new JComboBox();
box.addActionListener(this);

//This method also handles both components
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
//This tells you which combobox you are selection..
if (e.getSource() ==box)
{
//add code here
}
}
}

Regards
Jim
