The event model for the editable JCombobox is so screwed up that it is Unuseable. I got suspicious when the sun tutorial said "If you want to, you can easily write code to add an item" - weasel words, they are obviously so ashamed of the abject failure of the editable JComboBox that they dont even try to give an example. [btw when will people stop using the phrase "if you want to" - its noise] I tried this: wrote an editable JComboBox example... I found that there is NO WAY of knowing what entry you have edited, the index is returned as -1. There are a lot more problems......DO NOT TRY to use it, the non-editable is OK, event model merely somewhat confused, cf total SNAFU of the editable... some days I get so nostalgic for cpp... kelvinq
