I would advise you to use the open source Jide common layer, particularly the AutoCompletion helper class. Autocompletion text/jcombobox Autocompletion text/jcombobox

It works with a lot of swing components, with or without a list of possibilities being shown. Highly recommended.

for every keyReleasedEvent pass the substring to your method..
