Class AutoCompleteComboBoxEditor

java.lang.Object
  org.jdesktop.swingx.autocomplete.AutoCompleteComboBoxEditor

All Implemented Interfaces:

ComboBoxEditor

public class AutoCompleteComboBoxEditor
extends Object
implements ComboBoxEditor

Wrapper around the combobox editor that translates combobox items into strings. The methods setItem and getItem are modified to account for the string conversion.

This is necessary for those cases where the combobox items have no useful toString() method and a custom ObjectToStringConverter is used.

If we do not do this, the interaction between ComboBoxEditor and JComboBox will result in firing ActionListener events with the string value of ComboBoxEditor as the currently selected value.
