Handling focus loss
Another situation that needs highlighting of the complete text is when the user switches to another gui control (e.g. pressing the tabulator key). Otherwise the partial selection would still be there when the user returns to the combo box. Highlighting the complete text when the combo box loses focus could be a solution. However, switching the focus via mouse will not lead to the desired behaviour then: The cursor gets positioned by the mouse click and therefore the prior selection is removed. A better solution is to highlight the text when the focus is gained.
// Highlight whole text when gaining focus
editor.addFocusListener(new FocusAdapter() {
public void focusGained(FocusEvent e) {
highlightCompletedText(0);
}
});
The popup list is hidden automatically when the user hits enter on most JDKs. The latest Java 1.5 release from Sun contains a bug and keeps the popup list visible. The popup list can't be hidden for all JDK versions as this might lead to malfunctioning. A workaround could look like this...
// Bug 5100422 on Java 1.5: Editable JComboBox won't hide popup when tabbing out hidePopupOnFocusLoss=System.getProperty("java.version").startsWith("1.5");
// Highlight whole text when gaining focus
editor.addFocusListener(new FocusAdapter() {
[...]
public void focusLost(FocusEvent e) {
// Workaround for Bug 5100422 - Hide Popup on focus loss
if (hidePopupOnFocusLoss) comboBox.setPopupVisible(false);
}
});
