Hi,
Im trying to create a custom text box. What I have done is inherited
from the JTextField class, and attached key listeners. However,
obviously swing is calling my listeners then processing the JTextFields
ones. Without using the formatter etc... I want to block key events
from being processed by JTextField. Any ideas how I can achieve this?
Ive tried looking at the source, but just cant seem to find any way to
do this apart from Key-Binding every key on the keyboard, which seems
insane. Im sure theres something easy im missing.
Thanks for the help
David

Why? What's wrong with JFormattedTextField?

On a related topic, I would like to move some spell checking code from a
class I have now into a SpellCheckedTextArea, so some pointers on how best
to subclass a TextArea would also be helpful. Pointers to good references
would work as well.
Thanks.
