Hi,
I would like to populate a JComboBox such that the item that gets showed by default is empty textbox that would allow the user to type something in it. I want to show the other items in the drop down list.
How do I add the textbox that is editable?
I tried just doing the following:
mDayListComboBox.add(new JTextField());
Doesn't seem to work. Thanks!

Here is the Sun tutorial on combo boxes.
