I cannot find the proper way to make a JComboBox within a JTable usable
with the keyboard. I have tried adding KeyListeners to the JComboBox and
overriding processKeyComponent but these methods don't get called unitl
the list box for the combo box appears. As I can tab through the table
OK. It I hit a key in the cell with a JComboBox as an Editor, the
ComboBox appears (closed). All keystrokes are ignored. Ideally I'd like
the down arrow to open the ComboBox and Pressing keys to jump to that
item (basic win32 JCombo behavior) I want the user to be able to use
this table without a mouse if they choose.

Pleeeeeazz has anyone a good solution for me???
It's very important for my project that i am working on
