public class InputList
extends XList

Cooperating input field and list.

An input list consists of a JTextField and an XList operating in tandem. As text is typed into the input field, the current selection in the list is changed to match to the input field and list.

Example:

JTextField inputField = new JTextField( 32 ); InputList inputList = new InputList( inputField );

This ties together inputField and inputList. Changes to one field are reflected in the other.
