How to make an auto-complete list when I start to type in the textfield?

I have a textfield and if I want to write something to the field, it will show me the list of possible options regarding to that letter and I think this is called an auto complete.

Could someone give me an idea or a sample on how to do it?

Thanks..

  • look here is AutoCompleteComboBox / JFextField, and there are two classes one for JComboBox, second for JTextField, notice auto-complete functionality requires both classes for that
