Purpose
This extension provides developers with the
ULCSearchableComboBox component. This class extends
ULCComboBox and allows selection from the drop-down list of an item that matches the string typed by the user. The ComboBox gives visual feedback if none of the items in the drop-down list match the string being typed by the user.

How to use
The following shows a sample use of the
ULCSearchableComboBox component:
...
List list = new ArrayList();
list.add("ULCLabel");
list.add("ULCTextField");
list.add("ULCAbstractButton");
list.add("ULCButton");
list.add("ULCButtonGroup");
list.add("ULCCheckBox");
list.add("ULCDesktopPane");
ULCSearchableComboBox searchableComboBox = new ULCSearchableComboBox(list);...How it is implemented
The
UISearchableComboBox class serves as a proxy to the
ULCSearchableComboBox class on the server side. It acts as a
KeyListener to the
JTextField editor of the underlying
JComboBox. On each key stroke, the string in the editor is matched with the strings in the drop-down item list and the first matching string is selected.
Compatibility
The described functionality has been developed and tested using JDK 1.4.2_05 and ULC 6.1.1.
