#4093 — ComboBox

  To: comp.lang.java.gui
hi all ,
             I have a comboBox .whenever i click on it the
dropdownlist shows up but on clicking on any item in the list the
clicked item gets selected and the list disappears.I want the list to
remain so that i can scroll down through the lictby clicking on any
alphabet.
for example suppose i want to see all the items starting with letter
C ,only the first item starting with C gets selected and the drop down
disappears.i should be able to scroll through all the items starting
with C in the dropdown of the combobox.

Please help

I guess I don't quite understand what sort of interaction you are trying
to achieve.

If you are talking about selecting an item with the mouse and then still
being able to scroll, then it doesn't seem to make much sense.  After
all, if you want to scroll, why not just avoid clicking and scroll
instead?
