Answer 1

although its late, a better alternative would be to disabled the combobox to be modified prior to being modified. by doing so, you prevent firing events of the modified combobox, when for example, you use methods likes removeAllItems() or addItem()

String orderByOptions[] = {"smallest","highest","longest"};

JComboBox jcomboBox_orderByOption1 = new JComboBox jcomboBox_orderByOption2 = new JComboBox jcomboBox_orderByOption3 = new JComboBox
