[naved momin]

what i want to make using swing is suppose i have a textfield and user always enters a ip address for eg :127.0.0.1 so each time user start entering the ip address like 127 my textfield should show a drop down list below the textfield which will show all the ip address starting with 127

there are ready-to-go .jars out there, no need to understand how they work (although at times it is handy)

Do you think people write complex code for the fun of it?

do you have any code that is simple straight ?

What makes you think the code for this requirement is simple and straight?
