Kevin Menard commented on CAY-911:
----------------------------------
I do think we want to handle auto-completion for ObjAttributes. In my experience, that's the combo box I'm most likely to start typing entries into. Also, I've just checked out CM and it looks to me like the ObjAttribute choices are sorted alphabetically. Since this is provided as a reason for not using auto-completion, please let me know if I'm mistaken.
I also found the combo box editor deletion logic a bit odd. It didn't actually delete what I typed, but rather changed the highlighted area. It was quite confusing. Any chance we can make the backspace key actually delete the selected text?
Finally, CayenneWidgetFactory uses magic numbers for the maximum row count. Please use a static field for such values.

> Please use JComBox with autocompletion in CM at least in places that are very repetitive like selecting Field Types.
> It is very simple to implement it and there are several extremly well documented examples how to do it. E.g.:
