Class ComboBoxCellEditor

java.lang.Object
  javax.swing.AbstractCellEditor
      org.jdesktop.swingx.autocomplete.ComboBoxCellEditor

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, CellEditor, TableCellEditor

public class ComboBoxCellEditor
extends AbstractCellEditor
implements TableCellEditor, Serializable

This is a cell editor that can be used when a combo box (that has been set up for automatic completion) is to be used in a JTable. The DefaultCellEditor won't work in this case, because each time an item gets selected it stops cell editing and hides the combo box.

Usage example:

 JTable table = ...;
 JComboBox comboBox = ...;
 ...
 TableColumn column = table.getColumnModel().getColumn(0);
 column.setCellEditor(new ComboBoxCellEditor(comboBox));
