Constructor Detail

### MetalComboBoxUI

    public MetalComboBoxUI()

Method Detail

### createUI

    public static ComponentUI createUI(JComponent c)

  Description copied from class: `ComponentUI`
  Returns an instance of the UI delegate for the specified component. Each subclass must provide its own static `createUI` method that returns an instance of that UI delegate subclass. If the UI delegate subclass is stateless, it may return an instance that is shared by multiple components. If the UI delegate is stateful, then it should return a new instance per component. The default implementation of this method throws an error, as it should never be invoked.

### paint

    public void paint(Graphics g,
                      JComponent c)

  Description copied from class: `ComponentUI`
  Paints the specified component appropriate for the look and feel. This method is invoked from the `ComponentUI.update` method when the specified component is being painted. Subclasses should override this method and use the specified `Graphics` object to render the content of the component.

  Overrides:
    `paint` in class `BasicComboBoxUI`
  Parameters:
    `g` - the `Graphics` context in which to paint
    `c` - the component being painted; this argument is often ignored, but might be used if the UI object is stateless and shared by multiple components
  See Also:
    `ComponentUI.update(java.awt.Graphics, javax.swing.JComponent)`
