A java version of the autocomplete text field seen in most browsers: As the user starts to type into the text field, the field suggests possible matches - which allows the user to save typing the whole word, or knowing the exact spelling.
If could be set up to remember previous entries, or loaded with possible values to match.
The text field can optionally be case-sensitive, and case corrective: i.e. will correct the case of the user input to match the pre-existing input.
Three types are available:
• Text field with no window
• Text field with window that shows the possible completions. The completion list shrinks as the user continues to type
• Combobox, similar to above except the drop list doesn't get filtered as the user types. All items are always available for selection.
