hai,
its very Simple add a keyListener to your textArea. if you add the
following to your Key pressed it should do.

public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e) {
if (e.getKeyChar() == KeyEvent.VK_ENTER) {
e.consume();
}
}

Regards
Prakash.

for some reason this remind me of a bit in the HitchHikers Guide to
the Galaxy where Douglas Adams makes fun of user-hostile interfaces.
Our heroes are in an alien spacecraft trying to figure out the
controls. Suddenly Arthur Dent exclaims and Ford Prefect asks what's
wrong. Arthur replies: "I pressed this button and a little light came
on saying 'please do not press that button again'".

If clicking a certain button will cause a problem, then take the option from
the user:
enterButton.setVisible(false)
When its ok for the user to click it,, set it back to true.

he meant "enter key". That is a little harder to make disappear.
