Combobox1 has 3 items (Spain, France, UK) and Combobox2 6 items (Barcelona, Madrid, Paris, Marseille, London, Bristol).
When one item is selected from Combobox1 (Spain) it should be available to Combobox2 the specific items (Barcelona, Madrid).
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks in advance
Three combox listener example code.i think this solution use ful for your.

Well, we don't know your data structure, but if a city is attached to a country, add a listener to your country combobox and each time the selection change, you reconfigure the items on the city combobox.
I'll do something like that :
ComboBox<City> cityBox;
ComboBox<Country> countryBox;
countryBox.getSelectionModel().selectedItemProperty().addListener(new ChangeListener() {
@Override
public void changed(ObservableValue observableValue, Country oldCountry, Country newCountry) {
//Here configure your cityBox corresponding with newCountry
}
});
or with binding
cityBox.itemsProperty().bind(new ListBinding<City>() {
{
bind(cityBox.getSelectionModel().selectedItemProperty());
}
@Override
protected ObservableList<City> computeValue() {
Country country = countryBox.getValue();
// add the city corresponding to the country on a new list
return //The list with the city filtered with the country
}
});
