I want to filter the characters that are being typed in a JComboBox before
they are shown on the screen. In JTextField it works fine. I'm using the
keyTyped event, which fires each time a character is being typed. I can
check which character that is being typed and change it if necessary. But,
if I try the same in JComboBox it just won't fire the event.
Is there another way to do it?
