Limiting text length in editable JComboBox? 1

[GDameron]

Is there a way to limit the number of characters that may be typed in an editable JComboBox, analogous to setting up a Document model for a JTextField?

If memory serves, the default editing component for the combo is a JTextField anyway, so you could do something like :-

((JTextField)combo.getEditor().getEditorComponent()).setDocument(<document object>);

.. and use the document to limit the length as yo do for your ordinary JTextFields.

I've not tried this out, so apologies if it doesn't work.

Worked like a charm. Thanks.
