So I failed at the last thing so I thought I’d try something different.

if (c.getSelectedItem().label= Polearms) {  
textbox2.text = “the”;  
}

I want this to detected which selection was made based on the label, in the hopes I could display the information on a second textbox, but it’s no working…

any corrections?
