Create and fill combobox at runtime

Question

Hi,
I can now create a combobox, as a child of a gridpanel, at runtime:
HtmlSelectOneMenu combobox2 = new HtmlSelectOneMenu();
combobox2.setId("dropdownProject");
gridPanel1.getChildren().add(combobox2);
Can someone help me out with how to set the items in the combobox, at runtime?
From my previous OO-experience I thought I could create a model (DefaultSelectItemsArray?) and attach that to the viewer (the combobox) but I can't find any way of doing that.
I must say that I'm a java beginner so that may be part of the problem ;-)
Thanks already,
Bart.

Hi again,
It took me 4 hours but I got it to work myself.
For the archive, here's the code:
ArrayList dropdown1Options = new ArrayList();
dropdown1Options.add(new SelectItem("Choice 1","My First Project"));
dropdown1Options.add(new SelectItem("Choice 2","My Second Project"));
dropdown1Options.add(new SelectItem("Choice 3","My Third Project"));
UISelectItems dropdown1SelectItems = new UISelectItems();
dropdown1SelectItems.setValue(dropdown1Options);
HtmlSelectOneMenu dropdown1 = new HtmlSelectOneMenu();
dropdown1.setId("dropdownProject");
dropdown1.getChildren().add(dropdown1SelectItems);
gridPanel1.getChildren().add(dropdown1);
The link I missed was the one between the HtmlSelectOneMenu and the UISelectItems.
Appearantly you bind them using the getChildren().add() method. (?)
I'm gonna give myself the duke dollars! :-)
Cheers,
Bart.
