    Hi,

    I've created ComboBox and passed in constructor vector with some
    objects. This way combobox for each object in vector invokes method
    toString (this is what user sees). How can I overwrite this method, I
    mean I'd like to write to ComboBox not result of calling toString but
    rather result of some other function in object.
