Synopsis Capturing a combobox drop down menu event
Category java:classes_swing
Reported Against 1.2beta3

Description




Is there a way to capture when a user presses
the arrow on a combobox?  If not, could there be? 
I have a bit of processing to do to fill a combo
box and I would like to not load it until if and 
when it is wanted.

I want to capture a press
on the arrow and not just in the combobox itself.  In other words, if a
user drops the box down, I want to make sure that the list is
populated.  However, if the user just wants to type text in that field,
without loading the list first, they should be able to.
