    <p>I have a combobox which shows list of <code>User</code> objects. I have coded a custom cell factory for the combobox:</p> <pre><code>@FXML ComboBox&lt;User&gt; cmbUserIds; cmbUserIds.setCellFactory(new Callback&lt;ListView&lt;User&gt;,ListCell&lt;User&gt;&gt;(){ @Override public ListCell&lt;User&gt; call(ListView&lt;User&gt; l){ return new ListCell&lt;User&gt;(){ @Override protected void updateItem(Useritem, boolean empty) { super.updateItem(item, empty); if (item == null || empty) { setGraphic(null); } else { setText(item.getId()+" "+item.getName()); } } } ; } }); </code></pre> <p>ListView is showing a string(id+name), but when I select an item from listview, Combobox is showing toString() method return value i.e address of object. I can't override toString() method, because the User domain object should be same as the one at server. How to display id in combobox? Please suggest</p> <p><b>EDIT1</b> </p> <p>I tried below code. Now combo box shows id when I select a value from the listview.</p> <pre><code>cmbUserIds.setConverter(new StringConverter&lt;User&gt;() { @Override public String toString(User user) { if (user== null){ return null; } else { return user.getId(); } } @Override public User fromString(String id) { return null; } }); </code></pre> <p>The selected value in combo box is cleared when control focus is lost. How to fix this?</p> <p><strong>EDIT2:</strong></p> <pre><code>@FXML AnchorPane root; @FXML ComboBox&lt;UserDTO&gt; cmbUsers; List&lt;UserDTO&gt; users; public class GateInController implements Initializable { @Override public void initialize(URL location, ResourceBundle resources) { users = UserService.getListOfUsers(); cmbUsers.setItems(FXCollections.observableList(users)); cmbUsers.getSelectionModel().selectFirst(); // list of values showed in combo box drop down cmbUsers.setCellFactory(new Callback&lt;ListView&lt;UserDTO&gt;,ListCell&lt;UserDTO&gt;&gt;(){ @Override public ListCell&lt;UserDTO&gt; call(ListView&lt;UserDTO&gt; l){ return new ListCell&lt;UserDTO&gt;(){ @Override protected void updateItem(UserDTO item, boolean empty) { super.updateItem(item, empty); if (item == null || empty) { setGraphic(null); } else { setText(item.getUserId()+" "+item.getUserNm()); } } } ; } }); //selected value showed in combo box cmbUsers.setConverter(new StringConverter&lt;UserDTO&gt;() { @Override public String toString(UserDTO user) { if (user == null){ return null; } else { return user.getUserId(); } } @Override public UserDTO fromString(String userId) { return null; } }); } } </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
