    Lightbulb How to create a JTextField that will show history of what I type on it?

    I'm new in Java and still learning on it. Is there someone could give me a code or tutorial about JTextField that will record and show the history of what I type. Just like a text field in html.

    Im referring to the way browsers will show you past form data when the field names match.

    Is there any way to do it in java.. Please help me guys

    Capture the user input using a listener, store it into a collection or data structure of some kind (and/or save it to a file), as the user types search the array and display that array in a Swing element, such as a JComboBox or popup menu
