JComobox

Posted by Raymond on July 27, 2001 at 5:50 PM

I have the same issue but I don't think this is a problem at all. Pressing control while choosing an item generally means that you are selecting more than one item. Since JComoboxBox does not allow multiple selected item, this is how JComboxBox's code handles that perticular error.

> When I select an item from my JComboBox while pressing down Ctrl key, the JComboBox becomes blank.
> I have tried to override some listeners, events, even JComboBox itself, but I have failed to handle this Ctrl key issue.
> I know there is no reason for me to press down the Ctrl key, but this problem is reported to me as a bug and I have to fixed it. Does anyone have a solution to this problem or is this JDK's bug?
