GUI Edit Text Autocomplete?

Is there a way for an autocomplete pop-up to appear on an Edit Text component of a MATLAB GUI? The desired behavior I'm looking for is the user enters 3 or more characters and then the GUI program searches a given string array and displays a list of potential matches which the user can then select from. I don't want to have a pop-up menu because the list is over 5000 items. Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Eddy
It's been a long time, but now I'm looking for the same thing. Did you find any solution?
Thanks

Also you could have a small button next to the edit text which would simply autocomplete the string. On each click it would cycle through the matching list.

As far as i see, you should either do it the way Vishal says. Otherwise, You have to use Dynamic Java methods.
