Question

In my code, two comboboxes are added to actionListener( this );

In another part of my code, I call a combobox function that sets an index to a certain value. This in turn calls actionPerfoemed again and so getSource == comboBox is true. Every time I call a set function it calls actionPerformed again, creating a stack of function calls that then unwinds down to the first.

Is there a way to prevent this?

If the problem is just the initial setting, you can defer adding the listener until after both have been initialized. There’s more discussion here.
