I have a situation where I *think* the solution is to write a custom
renderer. It has brought up some issues with renderers I wanted to
ask about as well. Here's my problem:
I need to display a combo box with "hierarchical" select items. IOW,
the list of items in the combo box needs to be displayed as a tree
like follows:
Item 1
Item 2
Item 3
Item 4
Item 5
Item 6
etc....
