Can I confirm what you are asking?
You have some Cabinets, each with a number and a title. You want to display the title in the GUI, but get the number when the user has made his selection. Is that right?
Are all the titles unique?

[asaidi]

Hi
the table has number and title
1-wood
2-plastic
3-iron and so
i want to collect the number (1 ou 2 ou any other number)..to put it on custumer table who has a field called cabinet_number and it is int
thank you very much

[mKorbel]

another of reasons to post an SSCCE, short, runnable, compilable with hardcoded value in local variable for JTable/XxxTableModel instead of shadowing JDBC

[asaidi]

i want to show
**` String selectStuff = "Select cabinet_num,cabinet_type from cabinet";

// A ResultSet contains a table of data representing the
// results of the query. It can not be changed and can
// only be read in one direction
ResultSet rows = sqlState.executeQuery(selectStuff);
// next is used to iterate through the results of a query
while(rows.next()){
String res = rows.getString("cabinet_type");
int num=rows.getString("cabinet_num");///the error is here
if (res != null) {
res = res.trim();
}
jc.addItem(res);`**

i want for my selectedvalue() to be a number not the title ...
int x
x=getselectedvalue(number);is this what i need to do

[JamesCherrill]

OK. Exacatly how do you want to display the cabinets in the combo box? Give an example.

again short, runnable, compilable with hardcoded value in local variable for JTable/XxxTableModel instead of shadowing JDBC
