Just a brief update on my thinlets :) I have updated the Webpage applet that the keasdesign.net/thinlet page displays. More importantly though, I have released for testing/feedback/etc.. The jSQLcc application. It's available through download or, alternatively via webstart. Word of caution, if you use it via webstart, you will most likely be limited to databases on localhost. Working on that. Bug reports, feedback etc can be sent via the webpage applet.

Lastly, I started signing the jars. So you may get hit with a cert window every so often.

Thanks!

I have created some code to allow for type down capabilities in a combobox.

You need to add a property to the combobox like this.

putProperty(genreCmbo, "typeDown", "0");

Add a global variable to your class that extends thinlet.

int lastTypeDownIndex=0;

Then add this method.

public void typeDown(String value, Object choice)
{
Object[] items = getItems(choice);
lastTypeDownIndex=Integer.valueOf(getProperty(choice, "typeDown").toString()).intValue();
lastTypeDownIndex++;

if(lastTypeDownIndex>value.length())
{
lastTypeDownIndex=value.length();
putProperty(choice, "typeDown", lastTypeDownIndex+"");
}

for(int i=0; i {
String itemText = getString(items[i], "text");

try
{
if(!(itemText.substring(0,lastTypeDownIndex).equalsIgnoreCase(value)))
{
value=value.substring(0, lastTypeDownIndex);
}
if((itemText.substring(0,value.length()).equalsIgnoreCase(value)))
{
setString(choice, "text", itemText);
putProperty(choice, "typeDown", lastTypeDownIndex+"");
break;
}
else
{
setString(choice, "text", value);
putProperty(choice, "typeDown", lastTypeDownIndex+"");
}
}
catch(Exception e){}
}
}

I realize that there are some small issues with it, but if you want to change it feel free.
