Using a JComboBox in java for a time delay in a GUI
I am trying to set up a drop down menu in GUI which will set different time delay. My problem is that i am not familiar with JComboBox or GUI for that matter. So far i have(see below) my thought process is that i will have the drop down menu set up and when the user selects a particular setting. that number will change the "DELAY_MILLIS" which then would change the Thread.sleep. there is already other code to set up the GUI i just need to add the drop down menu for it.
enter code here
JComboBox<Integer> comboBox = new JComboBox<>();
comboBox.addItem(50);
comboBox.addItem(250);
comboBox.addItem(750);
comboBox.addItem(1500);
private static int
DELAY_MILLIS = 50 ;
private void delay() {
try {
Thread.sleep(DELAY_MILLIS);
}
catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
