I'm trying to implement a ComboBox that shows the list of every hour of the day, without success. It gives me "The constructor JComboBox(JSpinner) is undefined" error. any help? Thank you
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.set(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY, 24);
calendar.set(Calendar.MINUTE, 0);
SpinnerDateModel model = new SpinnerDateModel();
model.setValue(calendar.getTime());
JSpinner spinner = new JSpinner(model);
departureTime = new JComboBox<String>(spinner);
No, this makes no sense. You should be passing the combobox a ComboBoxModel
filled with the values you want displayed
See How to use comboboxes and How to Use Spinners for more details
You can either use something like this which uses a JSpinner
to display the time and allows the user to manipulate it
Or you need to fill the combobox with the values you want the user to be allowed to select, such as a given time interval...

I dont know what u want to do with the calendar, but every day has 24 hours so add a list with 24 hours or create a spinner with maxvalue 24.
