ReadOnly JTextField

176 New Member
Hello guys. I was wondering if it is possible to make a JTextField read only. In a program I am writing I don't want the user to be able to edit the text in a JTextField.

Look at the API for JTextComponent and JTextField. There's something like setEditable.

Another lesson learned: always read the appropriate API documentation sections
first before you start banging that keyboard; it saves you a lot of time.

kind regards,

Jos
