i am using a simple sample by ZK like this

final ArrayList<String>list = ......
ListModel dictModel= new SimpleListModel(list);
combo.setModel(dictModel);

i have solved using this by another post.

OK, more or less I found a solution to this. Since overwriting SimpleListModel.getSubModel() you can control how the matching is done, it's possible to do a non case-sensitive matching, preventing the user from pressing shift key. Something like this should work, use this SimpleListModelExt class to create a ListModel and feed your combobox.

public class SimpleListModelExt extends SimpleListModel {

    public SimpleListModelExt(List data) {
        super(data);
    }

public ListModel getSubModel(Object value, int nRows) {
        final String idx = value == null ? "" : objectToString(value);
        if (nRows < 0)
            nRows = 10;
        final LinkedList data = new LinkedList();
        for (int i = 0; i < getSize(); i++) {
            if (idx.equals("")
                    || entryMatchesText(getElementAt(i).toString(), idx)) {
                data.add(getElementAt(i));
                if (--nRows <= 0)
                    break; // done
            }
        }
        return new SimpleListModelExt(data);
    }

@Override
    public boolean entryMatchesText(String entry, String text) {
        return entry.toLowerCase().startsWith(text.toLowerCase());
    }

}
