JScrollPane keyevents

[Alkor]

Basic question, how would I disable the key events for JScrollPane like up,down,page up,page down etc.

Thanks!

I would consume the key event if I don't want it to bubble up. Let say if I have a JTextArea and I add it into a container like JScrollPane. I will have some thing like the following key listener in my JTextArea.

...
if (e.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_UP) {
    e.consume();
}
...

Ok, thanks im sure it will work, but hoping there was a simple way.

You could also use an InputMap of the component to disable some keys.

InputMap map = textArea.getInputMap();
map.put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke("UP"), "none");
