can anyone help me with this , I have a jtable and I want to search for the data in it with jtextfield , as the user types, suggestions appears in a drop down list and select from it , then the user select it and the results appears in the table.
yes that possible two ways
1) easiest without implement for autocomplete JTextField,
- JTable has implemented Sorting and Filtering code example in the tutorial
2) by implement AutoComplete JComboBox / JTextField (read whole thread because there is most excelent alternative implemented in the SwingX) and for JTable to set Filtering
For the JTextField, use getText() to get the input(but you have to update that constantly). For the drop down menu, use what's called an editable combo box - http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/combobox.html#editable has an explanation.

I had a problem. I am code a simple dictionary by using java swing
I want first to show all word and then whẹn i type a word or first of a word , it wI'll display this sublist . I try much but not successful, may someone help me
Instead of using a JList you could use a single column JTable. A JTable supports the ability to filter the rows of data in the table.
Read the section from the Swing tutorial on Sorting and Filtering for a working example to get you started.
You can even make the JTable look more like a JList by following these suggestions: How to create a JTable which appears as JList?
I am using multiple JComboBox in a single JPanel. I was wondering what is the go to initial JComboBox selection text?
For example I can put "None" but that will seem as if some value is already selected in the JComboBox. I am using labels for which type of data they are so writing their type is unnecessary.
I can either put "" but something like "----" seems better. Is there a standard text when you want the user to select some value from JComboBox?
If you want to set an initial value to JComboBox that should be non-selectable (as soon as user selects another option, it will not be possible to select the initial one again), than it has been already answered here.
One way is to use a custom renderer. The renderer will simply display a default prompt when no item of the combo box has been selected.
Check out Combo Box Prompt for an example of this approach.
how can I create (with JAVA) Combobox that contains Checkboxes for multiple selection and display the selected items in the Combobox like this picture:
click to see the pic
and thnx for advance.
EDIT:
I found this API (JAPURA API) and it's great but when I select multiple things I want to display the selected items instead of "* multiple items *".
Here's the link to achieve your goal:
JComboBox Providing a Custom Renderer
I would suggest you create a JButton and style it in the form of a Combobox if you want that.
Then, at the onclick function (actionperformed), you create a JPanel and make it visible under the button. In the panel, you can put whatever you want, so you just put checkboxes there.
I know this is kind of a workaround of your problem, but it should be easy for you to do so, and the actual user does not see a difference at all.
Hope I could help you.
Cheers,

I am trying to get a JCheckBox to display on a line that is in the multiple select JList and still perform its functionality.
Right now if I add the JCheckBox as an element it just prints its toString format.
Help/ideas?
If you haven't already done so, you'll need to write a custom ListCellRenderer, as discussed in Writing a Custom Cell Renderer.
Addendum: Because you'll also need an editor to handle the checkbox state, you may find it easier to use a one column JTable, as discussed in How to Use Tables. Note that a data column having the type Boolean will be automatically rendered with a check box.
I'm trying to use a JDialog box that has a search text field that as text is entered, it shortens a list to those that match. On this list I would like to display each line with a checkbox that can be selected. I might also want the ability for it to function like a select all list where Ctrl + Click on the line would select the item and check its box. How do I get this done?
Jlist is exactly what you're looking for. You can use a list of checkboxes and ctrl-click them.
I would use a JTable with two columns. The first column can be your check box and the second column could be the text.
Read the section from the Swing tutorial on "How to Use Tables" in particular the part on Sorting and Filtering for an example.
