***RESOLVED*** java combo box

[annie613]

first off i have to mention that i rarely use or code in java...im a VB programmer with some basic knowledge of java...i was asked to make a simple applet using threads....so i creativity came up with a horse race simulator.... The program allows a user to select a race which includes 2 to 5 horses per race and provides feedback as to which horse is the winner. The user input is validated (ie determines if the value entered for the number of races is a numeric value requested range. The race horse simulation will use separate threads for the horses. The horses race horizontally across the screen, with each horse having a different vertical coordinate.

How can I set a drop down combobox for selection of players
I was trying something like this but im not sure
Can anyone give suggestions

//combo box
Private java.awt.Select select = new java.awt select();
