public class BasicComboBoxUI extends ComboBoxUI
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

public static ComponentUI createUI(JComponent c)
public void installUI(JComponent c)
ComponentUIComponentUI instance is being installed
 as the UI delegate on the specified component.  This method should
 completely configure the component for the look and feel,
 including the following:
 LayoutManager on the component if necessary.
 PropertyChangeListener on the component in order
     to detect and respond to component property changes appropriately.

ComponentUIinstallUI.  This method is invoked when this
 UIComponent instance is being removed as the UI delegate
 for the specified component.  This method should undo the
 configuration performed in installUI, being careful to
 leave the JComponent instance in a clean state (no
 extraneous listeners, look-and-feel-specific property objects, etc.).
 This should include the following:
 uninstallUI in class ComponentUIc - the component from which this UI delegate is being removed;
          this argument is often ignored,
          but might be used if the UI object is stateless

 UIs might wish to override this if they present areas on the
 screen that can be viewed as components, but actual components
 are not used for presenting those areas.
 Note: As of v1.3, it is recommended that developers call
 Component.AccessibleAWTComponent.getAccessibleChildrenCount() instead
 of this method.getAccessibleChildrenCount in class ComponentUIComponentUI.getAccessibleChild(javax.swing.JComponent, int)public Accessible getAccessibleChild(JComponent c, int i)
