Data in first tab also shown in second tab

Question

I'm using Java Swing.
I have a tab panel with 2 tabs. In the first tab, I entered data. I want the data to show on the Combo Box in the second tab without closing the tab panel and open it again. How can I refresh the second tab with the newly added data shown?
Thanks!

Answer 1

JComboBox box;
JLabel info;
JTabbedPane tabPane;
private void render()
     tabPane = new JTabbedPane();
     JDesktopPane leftPane = new JDestkopPane();
     JDesktopPane rightPane = new JDesktopPane();
     tabPane.addTab("Left", leftPane);
     tabPane.addTab("Right", rightPane);
     Vector items = new Vector();
     items.add("Item 1");
     items.add("Item 2");
     box = new JComboBox(items);
     box.setBounds(10, 10, 100, 20);
     box.addActionListener(this);
     leftPane.add(box);
     info = new JLabel("Item 1 Info");
     info.setBounds(10, 10, 200, 20);
     rightPane.add(info);
     this.add(tabPane);
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
     if(e.getSource().equals(box))
          if(box.getSelectedIndex()==0)
               info.setText("Item 1 Info");
          if(box.getSelectedIndex()==1)
               info.setText("Item 2 Info");
          tabPane.setSelectedIndex(1);
