Vaadin 6 combo box linked with enum - gwt

Question

I wanted to know if there is a way to assign the select items all the values of an enum instead of manually adding each one of them.Currently I do this:
ComboBox myBox = new ComboBox();
for(SelectValuesEnum enum: SelectValuesEnum.values()){
myBox.addItem(enum)
}

Answer 1

With this you get a List with all enum values
new ArrayList<MyEnum>(Arrays.asList(SelectValuesEnum.values()));
And this you can convert it into a Collection and use it in the ComboBox constructor which accepts a Collection as argument.

Answer 2

You can use simple BeanContainer:
BeanContainer<Integer, YouEnum> cbContainer = new BeanContainer<Integer, YouEnum>(YouEnum.class);
cbContainer.setBeanIdProperty("id");
cbContainer.addAll(EnumSet.allOf(YouEnum.class));
ComboBox cb = new ComboBox(null, cbContainer);
cb.setItemCaptionPropertyId("fieldDescription");
cb.setImmediate(true);
// return cb;
public enum YouEnum {
VAL_1("value 1"),
VAL_2("value 2");
private final String fieldDescription;
private YouEnum(String value) {
fieldDescription = value;
}
public String getFieldDescription() {
return fieldDescription;
}
public String getId(){
return String.valueOf(ordinal());
}
}
