java gui help actionlistener

I'm trying to set a combobox in my GUI to print the the information about a student in a JLabel. 

private void studentComboBoxMouseClicked(java.awt.event.MouseEvent evt) {

    if combobox1="student1"{
        println.jlabel."name:a";
        println.jlabel.""age:12";
        println.jlabel."course:english";
    }

    if combobox1="student2"{
        println.jlabel."name:b";
        println.jlabel.""age:11";
        println.jlabel."course:maths";
    }

    if combobox1="student3"{
        println.jlabel."name:c";
        println.jlabel.""age:10";
        println.jlabel."course:science";
    }
}

You are on the right track but you need to read more tutorials. Start with the one suggested by Babban Shikaari. Your code should be something similar to this:

if (combobox.getSelectedItem().equals("student1")){
   jlabel.setText("Your new information");
}

You have to listen for itemstatechange on your combobox, Upon selecting your student , fetch the selected item and operate on to display appropriate messages.

Have a look at this example

If it is a pseudocode, then it's correct. But in java the same code would be:

  if ("student1".equals(combobox1)) {
    jlabel.setText("name:a age:12 course:english");
  } else if ("student2".equals(combobox1)) {
    jlabel.setText(...);
  } else if ("student3".equals(combobox1)) {
    jlabel.setText(...);
  }

Of course, it works if combobox1 is String, which holds the value of your combobox.
