Combobox drop down

[kohinoor2007]

Hi guys,

Have a table ,in which Iam rendering a column to display as combobox while editing.
Iam doing it as follows.

// These are the combobox values
String[] values = new String[]{"item1", "item2", "item3"};
JComboBox comboBox = new JComboBox(values);
comboBox.setEditable(true);
sheetColumn.setCellEditor(new DefaultCellEditor(comboBox));

//sheetColumn is a column in my table.

Now when the user types in a key in the table cell,where a combobox is rendered into, want the combo drop down to open & show values correspong to the entered key.

As my combobox is an editable one,Know that I have to use the "SelectionForKey" function.

How will I get my combobox from the table,to call the "comboBox.SelectionForKey" from the listener as described below


Have added a listener as follows:
Would be nice if some one could show it with a code snippet from this point on..

table.addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter(){

public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e){
char c = e.getKeyChar();


})
}

Thanks...

I added the key listener to the JComboBox as follows.But its not entering the event handler...


final DefaultCellEditor test = (DefaultCellEditor)table.getColumnModel().getColumn(1).getCellEditor();
final JComboBox box = (JComboBox)test.getComponent();

box.addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter(){

public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e){
char c = e.getKeyChar();
box.selectWithKeyChar(c);
box.showPopup();
}
});

It worked when I did

combobox.getEditor().getEditorComponent().addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter()

Thank God
