public class BasicComboBoxUI extends ComboBoxUI
Basic UI implementation for JComboBox.The combo box is a compound component which means that it is an agregate of many simpler components. This class creates and manages the listeners on the combo box and the combo box model. These listeners update the user interface in response to changes in the properties and state of the combo box.
All event handling is handled by listener classes created with the
createxxxListener()
methods and internal classes. You can change the behavior of this class by overriding thecreatexxxListener()
methods and supplying your own event listeners or subclassing from the ones supplied in this class.For adding specific actions, overide
installKeyboardActions
to add actions in response to KeyStroke bindings. See the article Keyboard Bindings in Swing at The Swing Connection.

installUI
public void installUI(JComponent c)
Description copied from class:ComponentUI
Configures the specified component appropriately for the look and feel. This method is invoked when theComponentUI
instance is being installed as the UI delegate on the specified component. This method should completely configure the component for the look and feel, including the following:- Install default property values for color, fonts, borders, icons, opacity, etc. on the component. Whenever possible, property values initialized by the client program should not be overridden.
- Install a
LayoutManager
on the component if necessary. - Create/add any required sub-components to the component.
- Create/install event listeners on the component.
- Create/install a
PropertyChangeListener
on the component in order to detect and respond to component property changes appropriately. - Install keyboard UI (mnemonics, traversal, etc.) on the component.
- Initialize any appropriate instance data.
- Overrides:
