I know that that's not the way to do it but I have to submit the GUI Applet after couple of hours and I just can't fix it myself. I've done everything else except adding a ComboBox with a "Male" & "Female". How can I just replace the CheckBox with an uneditable combo box and still make the "Send" button show the choice? That's my code:

import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
import javax.swing.JTextField;
import javax.swing.JRadioButton;
import javax.swing.JCheckBox;
import javax.swing.JButton;
