public class SearchableUtils
extends java.lang.Object
SearchableUtils.installSearchable(component);
The component could be a JList, JTree or JTable. If you need to further customize some attributes of Searchable, you
can assign a variable that returns from installSearchable().
Searchable searchable = SearchableUtils.installSearchable(component);
// further configure it
searchable.setCaseSensitive(true);
// ...
Usually you don't need to uninstall the searchable from the component. But if for some reason, you need to disable
the searchable feature of the component, you can call uninstallSearchable().
Searchable searchable = SearchableUtils.installSearchable(component);
// ...
// Now disable it
SearchableUtils.uninstallSearchable(searchable);
There is a small trick that you should know. JTree and JList implemented partially the quick search feature so that
when you type in the first character, it will jump to the first occurrence. This feature sometimes conflicts with the
Searchable we provided. So it'd better if you disable the JTree or JList default feature by creating JTree and JList
with getNextMatch method overridden. See below
JTree tree = new JTree(...) {
public TreePath getNextMatch(String prefix, int startingRow, Position.Bias bias) {
return null;
}
};
JList list = new JList(...){
public int getNextMatch(String prefix, int startIndex, Position.Bias bias) {
return -1;
}
};
