Choice selection by typing text

Hi all. Is it possible to have an AWT Choice to work by the user typing the first letter of the selection they want, and thereby taking them to the first item that has that letter? e.g.

Choice has these items:

Apple

Banana

Carrot

If I type B on the Choice, it takes me to banana

Thanks for the reply. I am using JDK1.1.8 (platform dependant), so can't use the selectWithKeyChar() method. Any other ideas?
