* Basically, a ChangeEvent is a dual purpose event. One is sent to listeners * both when a KeyEvent is generated from the text field, and one is sent when * an ItemEvent is generated (which happens when an item is selected from the * drop-down list). This means that somebody who wants to know when the actual * text showing has changed only needs to implement ChangeListener instead of * both ItemListener and KeyListener. * @author Jonas Gifford */ final public class JASEditableComboBox extends JComboBox implements KeyListener { /** * Creates a JASEditableComboBox with the given list of drop-down items.
