combo box in netbeans?

[sandeep43]

Hi,

when we place a combo box, we know that we have to click it to see values and choose one of them, but i want in such a way that, in combo box field user will type and the combo box should dynamically populat data. i.e. there is no mouse click by user, he will just type only half the string what he has to search and the other half combo box has to show. how can we do this in netbeans?

Regards

You are talking about kind of auto completion or auto fill on user event. On key press event you can query the item collection you have and add them into the combo box.

Search on Google. You can find lots of such models.
