Insert into JComboBox....

Question

I am trying to insert another option into a JComboBox, however, I do not wish to append it. I need to insert it in between two other options. I cannot seem to find a method to do this. I know this is possible with JLists as you can specify an int and the object where the int is the position to insert. Despite searching I cannot seem to find a method that will take both and int and a object to place in the JComboBox. Any ideas would be helpful

Hi, the JComboBox class has a method called insertItemAt(). Have you tried using that yet?
(taken from the API)
====================================================================
public void insertItemAt(Object anObject, int index)
Inserts an item into the item list at a given index. This method works only if the JComboBox uses the default data model. JComboBox uses the default data model when created with the empty constructor and no other model has been set.
Parameters:
anObject - the Object to add to the list
index - an integer specifying the position at which to add the item
