Question

I want to make a window application for PC using java swing. I would like to make a text field there. While typing to that text field I need it to show tips under that text field. And user can select the needed text from the list. The same like the google searching does in the browser. So I need some two functions, first one is easy: filter a set of strings by already typed text. But how to show them in a list ?

EDIT1: I need the list to be shown if there is something to show after filtration, and an ability to select by using keys up and down. The same as google search but on PC application.

Answer 1

JComboBox is a common choice for this. AutoCompleteJComboBoxer is one I’ve tried.
