the text fileds load and display the data fine but not in the combo box. i have the following code below that gets the size of the cmbo box (size 2, with the values null, male and female) and a for loop that gets each item from the cmbo box and if the item matches the item received from the MYSQL, add that item to the top of the cmbo box list and thend elete any duplicates and repaint the cmbo box
//object variable that stores the gender value from the cmbo box
            Object temp_gender;
            //get number of items in the combo gender box
            int index = cmb_gender.getItemCount();
            for(int i = 0; index < i; i++)
                //get item from cmbo box for gender
                temp_gender = cmb_gender.getItemAt(i);
                if(gender.equals(temp_gender.toString()));
                    //insert the item at the top of the list
                    cmb_gender.insertItemAt(temp_gender, 0);
                    //remove the item from its previous index position
                    cmb_gender.removeItemAt(i);
                    cmb_gender.repaint();
            }

Answer 1

You have bad for statment
int index = cmb_gender.getItemCount();
This abow will return the number of items in the list.
Because statement for will never made.
for(int i = 0; index < i; i++)
This is corect version :
for(int i = 0; index > i; i++)
