Question

how can i receive the combobox arrow icon in windows plaf like that:

enter image description here

and add it to another JLabel as Icon

Do you need the exact icon shown in the image, or the one the platform l&f uses? — Elist, Dec 15 '13 at 16:04

AFAIK you can to use new MetalComboBoxIcon() directly, required only import javax.swing.plaf.metal.MetalComboBoxIcon; you (never tried) have to search for equivalent in another L&Fs, no idea if you talking (windows plaf like that:) about SystemL&F (Windows) or WindowsClassicLookAndFeel
better ways are_
- get Icon from JComboBox(loop in JComboBoxes JComponent there is XxxComboBoxButton) e.g. MetalComboBoxButton, this button contains Icon
- look into BasicComboBoxUI or WindowsComboBoxUI (there is only about paintIcon), copy those code and create own class for Icon by override paintIcon
- create own Icon
- I'b be use own Icon or MetalComboBoxIcon then result isn't L&F sensitive,

+1, thanks for correcting my response and pointing the OP in a better direction. — camickr, Dec 16 '13 at 04:07
