[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Autocomplete Combo

Hello.

Does anyone have a code snippet for an autocomplete combo? I've tried a couple of methods and haven't been able to get it right. I seem to have two issues:

1. If I try to do "combo.setItems()" in the body of my ModifyListener, I get a java.lang.StackOverflowError, so I can only use the combo.add() or combo.remove() methods but even then...

2. I want to be able to display the popup list as the user types into the combo's text field. However, the popup remains hidden while typing. Is there a way to force it to "popup"?

I'm looking for something like Google Suggest's [1] text box. Ultimately I want to subclass CellEditor and add this feature to a ComboBoxCellEditor.

Thanks,

jaaron
