Detect double-click in editable JComboBox?

I have an editable JComboBox. I want it to scroll to the default value
if the user double-clicks in the edit area. So, I tried using
'addMouseListener()' with a MouseAdapter to listen for the click
count. I'm hearing nothing, though. Can a JComboBox not respond to a
mouse listener? What am I doing wrong?

TIA,

John

you click not on JComboBox, but in editorComponent (JTextField) of
ComboBoxEditor. see ComboBoxEditor.getEditorComponent();

You do indeed! How stupid of me to forget that. It now works like a
dream! Thanks!
