```
public class BasicComboBoxUI
extends ComboBoxUI
```
Basic UI implementation for JComboBox.
The combo box is a compound component which means that it is an aggregate of many simpler components. This class creates and manages the listeners on the combo box and the combo box model. These listeners update the user interface in response to changes in the properties and state of the combo box.
All event handling is handled by listener classes created with the createxxxListener() methods and internal classes. You can change the behavior of this class by overriding the createxxxListener() methods and supplying your own event listeners or subclassing from the ones supplied in this class.
For adding specific actions, overide installKeyboardActions to add actions in response to KeyStroke bindings. See the article How to Use Key Bindings
