incompatible types: ComboBox cannot be converted to String

This is my met

Answer 1

It is hard to be certain without knowing how combobox is declared and at which line the Exception is being thrown...

My guess: combobox is declared as a JComboBox that takes a String and you the Exception is being thrown since a ComboBox is being added instead of a String.

Possible correction: declare the JComboBox to hold instances of ComboBox:

private JComboBox combobox;
