Problem with editable JComboBox

Thread view:

If I use 2 editable JComboBoxes, the action command when typing
in some value in the editable part of the JComboBox for both of the
JComboBoxes is "comboBoxEdited":
((JComboBox) actionevent.getSource()).getActionCommand()

Changing the action command with setActionCommand() does not
change this.
How can I determine which JComboBox was changed?

thank you,
Erik

You can do this by comparing the object that getSource() returns to your
existing JComboBox object definition. Do something along the lines of:

if (actionevent.getSource().equals(cOne)) {
// etc
}

Where cOne represents the first combo box object.
