You add a mouselistener to a JComboBox by adding it to the editor.
JComboBox editor is by default JTextField. You have to get the editor of
the JComboBox and then use getText() method on the editor. Check out
this example using an inner class: 

class ComboKeyAdapter extends java.awt.event.KeyAdapter {
	private com.sun.java.swing.JComboBox _combobox;
	private com.sun.java.swing.JTextField _editor;

	public ComboKeyAdapter (JComboBox comboBox) {		
	_combobox = comboBox;
	_editor = (JTextField) 	_combobox.getEditor().getEditorComponent();
	_editor.addKeyListener(this);	
	}

	public void keyReleased(java.awt.event.KeyEvent keyEvent) {				
	
	char keyTyped;	
	keyTyped = keyEvent.getKeyChar();		
	String str = _editor.getText();


Somewhere in your code you should have the following:
ComboKeyAdapter combo_key = new ComboKeyAdapter(getJComboBox_lver());

Hope this helps you
