Java JComboBox with autocomplete

Question

i am trying to put a dropdown JComboBox in my application with autocompletion.

I already managed to do the autocompletion part but it only works with the first letters, so if i type "fre" it gives me "Fresas del Pacifico" that is OK

What i need is to be able to type "Paci" and also get "Fresas del Pacifico"

i am using AutoCompleteDecorator.decorate(comboBoxCliente);

Any ideas? or 3rd party libs?

thanks

Where does the AutoCompleteDecorator class come from? – VGR Sep 15 '16 at 16:41 — VGR, Sep 15 '16 at 16:41
it comes from SwingX – Mario Jaramillo Sep 15 '16 at 16:44 — Mario Jaramillo, Sep 15 '16 at 16:44

Those solutions are not what i'm looking for, cause it only autocompletes the text from the begining. I need to be able to "search" the substring at any part of the jcombobox items, not only from the begining – Mario Jaramillo Sep 15 '16 at 17:38
