I'm creating a system in Java using NetBeans. I would like to create a search box that shows the results in a list (of variable size) under the box as the user enters the text to be searched. It would be something similar to the Google search box, which shows suggestions as the user is typing.
The system should also allow the user to select search results without the other results being hidden. I would like the results list to stay on other interface components.
I would also like to be able to search from certain cells in a table and have the results displayed underneath the cell used for searching.
I do not know of any component of the Swing
class or NetBeans functionality that can do this. Anyone have any ideas?
