The JFXComboBox extends the javafx ComboBox so any example for that should work...
These are the first 3 that popped up in google..

Well i tried these but it didnt work. What im doing is getting the values from db and setting it on combo box. Like bringing up one record and pushing it inside the text and combo. Text comes right but not combo. When i use the methods in the above links the combo will show blank.

Code i used
cmbType.getSelectionModel().select(new Label(rs.getString("Type")));
cmbType.setValue(new Label(rs.getString("Type")));

Hello,
you need to use JFXComboBox<String> instead of JFXComboBox<Label>, or select the actual node from the items list instead of creating a new node for the selected item.
