actionPerformed not returning a value.

[gher]

Hello fellow java enthusiasts,

I have been stuck on this problem for this past few days.
I have tried different ways to get my program going but it failed.

Here it is.

public void doWrite(){
		User u = new User();
		String passconcat= new String(password.getPassword());
		u.setUserName(username.getText());
		u.setPassword(passconcat);
		u.setName(name.getText());
		doDisplayMonth().getActionListeners();
		UserWriter writer = new UserWriter();
		writer.writeUserInfo(u);
	}
	public JComboBox doDisplayMonth(){
		Object comboBox [] = {"January","February","March","April","May","June","July","August","September","October","November","December"};
		final JComboBox month = new JComboBox(comboBox);
		month.setBounds(86, 287, 97, 23);
		contentPane.add(month); 
 
		month.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
			public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
				User u = new User();
				u.setMonth((String) month.getSelectedItem());
				System.out.print(u.getMonth());
			}
		});
		return month;
	}

That piece of code is trying to write the selected item on a JComboBox containing an array of months.
I just want the method actionPerformed to return a string value to be declared at the method doWrite().

Any solutions?
It will be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.


PS. Sorry if my english is not that good.

Try using the ItemStateChanged event for the JComboBox, i've used that one before and i know it works. Let me know how that works out for you.
