public class BasicComboBoxUI
extends ComboBoxUI

Basic UI for JComboBox. This class adds and removes components from the JComboBox. The arrow button and the editor are managed by this object. The popup menu is handled by BasicComboPopup. BasicComboPopup supplies this class with a MouseListener, MouseMotionListener, and a KeyListener. These listeners are added to the arrow button and the JComboBox by default. Subclasses of BasicComboBoxUI should attach the listeners to whichever components they like. installListeners() is where listeners get added to the JComboBox (and model). configureEditor() is where listeners get added to the editor. configureArrowButton() is where listeners get added to the arrow button. Inner classes for handling events: FocusHandler ItemHandler ListDataHandler PropertyChangeHandler KeyHandler

getAccessibleChildrenCount

public int getAccessibleChildrenCount(JComponent c)
Description copied from class: ComponentUI
Returns the number of accessible children in the object. If all of the children of this object implement Accessible, than this method should return the number of children of this object. UI's might wish to override this if they present areas on the screen that can be viewed as components, but actual components are not used for presenting those areas. Note: as of the Java 2 platform v1.3, it is recommended that developers call Component.AccessibleAWTComponent.getAccessibleChildrenCount() instead of using this method.
Overrides:
getAccessibleChildrenCount in class ComponentUI
Following copied from class: javax.swing.plaf.ComponentUI
Returns:
the number of accessible children in the object.
See Also:
ComponentUI.getAccessibleChild(javax.swing.JComponent, int)

Return the nth Accessible child of the object. UI's might wish to override this if they present areas on the screen that can be viewed as components, but actual components are not used for presenting those areas. Note: as of the Java 2 platform v1.3, it is recommended that developers call Component.AccessibleAWTComponent.getAccessibleChild() instead of using this method.
