/**
 * Swing's implementation of a ComboBox -- a combination of a text field and
 * drop-down list that lets the user either type in a value or select it from
 * a list that is displayed when the user asks for it. The editing capability
 * can also be disabled so that the JComboBox acts only as a drop down list.
 * <p>
 * For the keyboard keys used by this component in the standard Look and
 * Feel (L&F) renditions, see the
 * <a href="doc-files/Key-Index.html#JComboBox">JComboBox</a> key assignments.

 * <strong>Warning:</strong>
 * Serialized objects of this class will not be compatible with
 * future Swing releases.  The current serialization support is appropriate
 * for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same
 * version of Swing.  A future release of Swing will provide support for
 * long term persistence.
