Scala Swing ComboBox Editable

Question

A simple question (but can't find any answer nonetheless :(). Java's Swing has an editable property for the ComboBox so user can type to find the value. I check Scala's ComboBox implementation, and there is an editable property.

So the question is, how can I set the ComboBox's editable to true (or false) in Scala's Swing?

Thanks before.

There is makeEditable method, but I can't find any inverse method so you have to use underlying component (scala swing is just a thin wrapper over java swing) to set editability to false:

mycombo.peer.setEditable(false)

Ah, can't believe I miss that. Thank you very much! – bertzzie Nov 25 '12 at 16:51
For some reason when I do this the combo box is still editable. Is there anything else that could be overriding it? – taz Dec 12 '12 at 06:12
