Hi all,
I want a Combox, when the Combox get the focus, it can automatically pop
up the drop-down-windown to show the list , User then can select one option
out of them. During the process there is no need for user to click using
mouse. This feature are welcomed by some users who want to fill forms only
with keyborad.
I know in Delphi, it is very simple to do this. But how in SWT. Can some
one lend me a hand, thanks.

There is another topic about this issue in this newsgroup called "Combo box
popup" post by Mikko but this not solve the
problem that you have. So do I have this problem and I try with this code
that i find in this news-group. ( topic called "3 problems creatinf an
auto-complete combo controll" by Jim ). There is a good solution, but there
is not the solution that I search but if it help you...
Stefano
public class AutoSelectCombo {
private Combo combo;
private boolean programmaticallyChanging;
public AutoSelectCombo(Composite composite, ArrayList list) {
combo = new Combo(composite, SWT.DROP_DOWN);
programmaticallyChanging = false;
for (int i = 0; i < list.size(); ++i) {
combo.add((String) list.get(i));
}
addModifyListener(
new ModifyListener() {
public void modifyText(ModifyEvent e) {
if (!programmaticallyChanging) {
int index = indexOfClosestMatch(getText());
int length = getText().length();
System.out.println(index);
switch (index) {
case -1:
programmaticallyChanging = true;
setText("");
programmaticallyChanging = false;
break;
default:
select(index);
programmaticallyChanging = true;
setText(getItem(index));
setSelection(new Point(length,
getText().length()));
programmaticallyChanging = false;
break;
}
}
}
}
);
}
public int indexOfClosestMatch (String text) {
System.out.println(text);
int index = -1;
String[] items = combo.getItems();
for (int i = 0; i < items.length; ++i) {
if (items[i].startsWith(text)) {
index = i;
break;
}
}
return index;
}
...
}

There is no api for programmatically showing a Combo's items, though there
is a request for this, see
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=21619 .
An alternative is to create the Combo with SWT.SIMPLE. This will leave the
Combo in an expanded state at all times, which may be reasonable in your
context.

I suppose you could dispose the "closed" combo when it gets focus,
replace it with SWT.SIMPLE combo, call layout() and force the focus back
to the new combo. (And vice versa when lose focus.) Don't know how
horrible that would look.
