Hello

I am a VB programmer trying to learn Java with JBuilder Foundation.

I am looking for a Java combobox component with a multicolumn dropdown
to use in my database app, and also a grid that will support embedding
other controls such as a multicolumn combobox within one of the grid
columns.  (VB doesn't have such controls.)

I was wondering if there were any free opensource components such as
the above that I could download from somewhere on the Net.  Are there a
good number of free Java components available generally, or should I
try Delphi, perhaps, or something like that, because I am at my wits'
end to find free well constructed relatively sophisticated GUI controls
to use with Visual Basic.  I have basically given up!!!  Microsoft
programmers insist on charging for their work....

If anyone can help me find the above GUI controls for Java, please
help.

Many thanks,
