AutoComplete for TextFieldBinding

[fritzrichter]

Hi together,
for our project we want to use a auto complete text field, as you know it from web 2.0 apps.

We want to to provide a list of used values, but let the user still define new values, therefore a comboBox is no solution. Any ideas how to implement this?

Best regards,
fritzr

Take a look at Jide Commons. They have support for autocompletion for JTextComponents.

You can add this to any of your textfields produced by the binding, or write a specific binder which adds autocompletion.

Perfect, cause we already use the JIDE stuff for our project.

Thanks for that!

Otherwise you could also use the IntelliHints system in Jide:

might be even better?
