There's an autocomplete combobox out there somewhere that probably does what you want

How do I refresh my array?Does anybody know equivalent method to refresh array in the list? Below is the code except in the processfilter I need to refresh array.

Now I already have a project in which the data provider for my List is Array and I need the same filter functionality for the Array. can we do this filter for Array too or do i have to change the code of my project and instead of array I need to store complete data in ArrayCollection instead of Array and then made that filter working. It's just lot of work to change the existing workign code with my harsh deadline. Please let me know which is the best way.
