JComboBox autocomplete problem

hi all. I would like to know a, quick, easy and simple technique to have auto complete function in JComboBox.
I know this question about autocomplete has been answered several times in this forum. But all of them give some complex custom made codes.
Since this is a very nice feature in Windows, doesnt Java provide support for this in one of its API?
I have gone through the documentation also to find whether this function has been already implemented. Apparently, I could not find such support. Could anyone please give me any guidance.
thanks.

If Java supported this in the standard API's, then you wouldn't find "complex custom made codes" around here, you'd find people telling others to check out this or that class or method.

JCombobox selection problem

Hello,
I have some problem implementing events associated with JComboBox. My requirement is "the event should get fired only when an item is selected in the combobox". It may occur thet using arrow keys I can traverse all elements in the combobox and on item change the event should not get fired. I tried with itemstatechanged, actionperformed but no result.
Any help will be appreciated.

Ranjan

Don't forget to use the [url http://forum.java.sun.com/help.jspa?sec=formatting]Code Formatting Tags so the posted code retains its original formatting.
Don't know why the code works the way it does, but the code is wrong. The correct way to add a row is like this:
//model.addRow(data);
String[] rowData = { " ", " ", " ", " "};
model.addRow(rowData);

JComboBox addActionListener problem?

HI,
i am using JComboBox to add each item action perform of use StyleEditorKit.FontSizeAction("String", int), but i only can add one item action perform only. See my code any problem...
for(int i>12;i<=50 ; i++){
              comboBox.addItem(" "+i);
           // i want to loop each item can function
            comboBox.addActionListener(new StyleEditorKit.FontSizeAcion("i ", i)Thanks

FontSizeAction is able to set the size to a value delivered in String format as the command String of its ActionEvent. Unfortunately, the JComboBox doesn't deliver the String value of the selected item as command string but an arbitrary value to be set once. So you have to wrap your FontSizeAction in a custom ActionListener of your own where you retrieve the selected item, cast it to a String and pass this value to FontSizeAction as the command String of a new ActionEvent object.
You should also get rid of that whitespace when creating the size value, String.valueOf(int) is a better way to create a String for an int.

JComboBox Dropping Problem

Hi, I have a JComboBox in a table cell with all the Item I need. But the problem is when I click on JComboBox, dropdown menu pops up and immediately hides automatically. And cannot allow me to choose anything.
Any suggestions plz.
Thanks

You've got a coding problem, so read this section from the Swing tutorial on [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/combobox.html]How to Use Combo Boxes for example on how to do this correctly.

JComboBox MouseListener Problem

Hi!
I have problem in getting mouseEntered event from a JComboBox. I have registered a MouseListener with it but it doesn't fire any mouseEvent. Anyone has any idea how to get the mouseEntered Event fired from a JComboBox??
Thanks!!

Even I, have a similar problem. My obejective is to display the tooltip, When I move the mouse over every individual item in the combo box. The combo basically has a JList. So, I overrided the getListCellRenderer(...) method. It is not displaying the toolTip when the combo initially has no selectedItem. If there is a selected item, the first time itslef, it displays the toolTip. If theres no selectedItem, it displays the toolTip when I move the mouse out of the combo(when the combo is expanded). Tried all possible combinations... but doesnt work. Have set the toolTip with setToolTipText() method... and when I print the toolTip with getToolTipText() method. It prints correctly, but isnt getting displayed.. :-(

JComboBox Editing problem

hi all ,
I have problem with JComboBox
like this :
JComboBox comTech = new JComboBox();
comTech.addItem(" ");
comTech.addItem("one");
comTech.addItem("two");
the problem is I want first( comTech.addItem(" ");) item is Editable remaing are uneditable
I am not getting any solution if anyone knows please send the solution
thanks

You missunderstand the use of JComboBox. A JComboBox is used to allow the user to selection from a list of items.
An uneditable combox allows the user to select an item from the list.
An editable combo box allows the user to select an item from the list or to enter there own value. It does not allow you to change the value of the entries in the list.
See this section from the Swing tutorial on "How to Use Combo Boxes":

2 JComboBox sync problem

Hi, im getting crazy with this error. I have two different JComboBox with two differents DefaultComboBoxModel.
The first shows a list of files.
The second shows a data list from the selected file in the first.
When i select a different file in the first combo, i want to change the data list in the second combo. So i call the removeAllElements method in the DefaultComboBoxModel, but i dont know why, then the second combo code is executed too (it shouldnt) and i get an error.
The code is something like this:
cmb1 is a jcombobox linked to dcbm1, which is a defaultcomboboxmodel
cmb2 is a jcombobox linked to dcbm2, which is a defaultcomboboxmodel
MyObject is a customized class which has two fields: a Vector and a String. There is a Vector of MyObject, where is load the file data.
void cmb1_actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
    dcbm2.removeAllElements();
    // Load the file
    // Get data load on vector (class Vector)
    // Then, send data from vector to 2nd combomodel:
    for (int i=0; i<vector.size(); i++){
      mo = (MyObject)vector.get(i);
      dcbm2.addElement(mo.getString());
void cmb2_actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
    dlm.clear();                                                    // ListModel which i use to show data
    int x = cmb2.getSelectedIndex();
    m = (MyObject)vector.get(x);                       // This line throws the error (ArrayOutOfBounds). x=-1
    vector2 = m.getVector();
    for (int i=0; i<vector2.size(); i++){
      dlm.addElement((vector2.getString()
}So thats my problem. When i select an item in the 1st combo, the 2nd combo code is executed too, throwing an ArrayIndexOutOfBounds because there is no item selected

as I see, in this listing, you did not try using what I told you before, try using this:
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
     Object obj = e.getSource();
     if (obj == cmbFiles) {
          parser = new MyXMLParser((String) dcbmFiles.getSelectedItem());
          try {
               carrera = parser.read();
          } catch (Exception z) {
               z.printStackTrace();
          cursos = carrera.getCursos();
          for (int i = 0; i < cursos.size(); i++) {
               cur = (Curso) cursos.get(i);
               dcbmCursos.addElement(cur.getCurso());
     } else if (obj == cmbCursos) {
          dlmAsignaturas.clear();
          int x = cmbCursos.getSelectedIndex();
          cur = (Curso) cursos.get(x);
          asignaturas = cur.getAsignaturas();
          for (int i = 0; i < asignaturas.size(); i++) {
               dlmAsignaturas.addElement(
                    ((Asignatura) asignaturas.get(i)).getId()
                         + ((Asignatura) asignaturas.get(i)).getGrupo().toLowerCase());
}

Flex builder 3 debug and autocomplete problems

I have been working with Adobe Flex Builder for building Flash applications over a year. Recently I tried a few beta SDKs - 3.4 and 4.0. After playing arround with these SDKs and returning to a stable one (3.2) - Flex builder started causing some problems with autocomplete and debugging:
Autocomplete - when selecting class members from autocomplete - it usually clears all standard library import statements from the class. I started copying and remarking these import statements for retrieving them back after they are deleted.
Debug - it won't stop on most breakpoints (it used to before changing SDKs). Mostly it ignores my breakpoints.
I would love to hear any ideas about the cause and possible solution to these problems.

I think the problem you are experiencing is this one:
http://subclipse.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=511
You probably have Subclipse 1.2.4 installed, which is the
latest official release. But the new release based on Subversion
1.5 has been in development for over a year. It will be version
1.4.0 and probably released next week when Subversion 1.5 is
released.

Nautilus autocompletion problem

Probably related to the recent upgrade, but I'm not sure. Yesterday seems so long and I've probably lost count of time.
In addition to this endless spawning problem: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=69219, the location bar autocompletion was also gone. Both problems happen with a new user account, so I doubt if my own configs are in conflict with nautilus.
Auto complete still works with root nautilus, much the same as described in the Ubuntu forum here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=980450

Try changing [global] "security = share" to "security = user" and instead just pre-define allowed users with "valid users = johndoe" (change johndoe to your account ofc). If you still have issues, see basic config example on my wiki here http://wiki.gotux.net/config/samba

JComboBox - autocomplete

Hello everyone!
I wrote a piece of code that makes a JComboBox work autocomplete. It's working fine but not when I set the look and feel as a system look and feel - not java look and feel. If you're gonna read the code trying to help me, you're gonna see, that if the user types in the combo box some character, the text gets highlited. In the java look and feel it doesn't. So the highliting is only tisturbing the functionality of the combo box.
Any suggestions?

OOhhhh shit .. it really works :) !!! Thanks dude! I was searching and searching for this caret trick but I didn't know how to do it cause the item that's set on the combo box editor actually wasn't a JTextField. It was just an object that I had to cast into an JTextField.
And sorry ... gonna look the themes next time to post into the right one :).
Thanks alot dude ;).

JTable with JComboBox/JSpinner problem

The following code has a JTable with 2 columns.The lst column has JComboBoxes, the 2nd column has JSpinners.I want to set the spinner range of values based on the selection of JComboBox. The JComboBox selections are "small" and "large". For "small" the spinner should range from 0..49, for "large" from 50..99. When a selection is made, MyTable.itemStateChanged() is called, which in turn calls SpinnerEditor.setValueRange(). This sets an array with the desired values and then sets the model with this array. However, it sets the range not only for the row in which the combo box was clicked, but all rows.
So in MyTable.setCellComponents(), there is this:
spinnerEditor = new SpinnerEditor(this, defaultTableModel);
modelColumn.setCellEditor(spinnerEditor);
If the table has n rows, are n SpinnerEditors created, or just 1?
If 1, do n need to be created and if so, how?

However, it sets the range not only for the row in which the combo box was clicked, but all rows. Yes, because a single editor is used by the column.
One solution is to create two editors, then you override the getCellEditor(...) method to return the appropriated editor. Something like:
If (column == ?)
    if (smallOrLarge)
      return the small or large spinner editor
    else
       return the large spinner editor
else
    return super.getCellEditor(...);

AJAX AutoComplete problem with arabic

I'm using Ajax AutoComplete component in my project by creating the String array (String[]) from a table created in database
The Ajax AutoComplete component work fine with English data but when working with Arabic data it gives me an empty list...!!!!
does any one know why this is happening with Arabic data?
this is my code for creating the string array:
public String[] getNames() {
        RowKey rowKeys[] = namesDP.getAllRows();
        names = new String[rowKeys.length];
        for (int i = 0; i < rowKeys.length; i++) {
            namesDP.setCursorRow(rowKeys);
names[i] = namesDP.getValue("NAME").toString();
return this.names;
}NAME is the field that holds the English data and for Arabic i just change it to NAME1 which holds the Arabic data
