I need some help.
I want a JComboBox to work so, that when user writes characters to
combo's
editor, the selection list changes according to characters written in
combo. Or it chooses automatically the selection correponding with
written characters.

This works fine when the JComboBox is not editable, but when i set the
JComboBox to editable it won't work

There is a interface KeySelectionManager which contains the method
selectionForKey.
when the combobox is not editable the this method is called but when the
combobox is set to
editable the method is not called any more. why??

Does anyone knows how to implement it?
I tryed nearly everything now but it still wont work and its very
important for me !!

Pleez help me and send any suggestions
