hello,

I have some question on Swing's editable combox option.
The question is if there is an option to make the combobox editable but editable only for options that are in in the list of options that already have been added to the combox list of options. i want to use the keyboard as filter to unrelevant options.

10x ahead,
netanel

sounds like it requires a 'roll-your-own' solution..


what about adding a keylistener that matches input to items in the combo data model, suppresses non-matches...? (a variation on auto-complete fn)
