Need Java help (easy question)

[erub]

Ok I am trying to write a small applet, using a combobox..i cant get the darn thing to display!! Somebody please help me..here's what I have in the paint function (the welcome to java part works):

public void paint (Graphics g)
{

super.paint (g);


g.drawString("Welcome to Java Programming!", 25, 25);

String[] sex = {"Male","Female"};
JComboBox sexList = new JComboBox(sex);
sexList.setPopupVisible(true);
}

i dont think it's a good idea to create the component in paint()...

Isn't is paintCommponnent? Anyway, yeah you don't create the combo box in the paint(componnet) method.
