Make the TextField unable to write on

[Josep_16]

Hello there! I was wondering if there was any kind of method that could make a TextField unable to write on it. It's an usual action of textfields in programs, when you select an option that makes the textfield grey-colored and unable to write on it. I'd like to know if there is a method that could perform this action in Java textfields. I hope there is one, thanks.

Are you looking for the setEnabled() or setEditable() methods? Check out the API: JTextField (Java Platform SE 6)

Ye, right. Thanks!

JTextField field = new JTextField();
field.setEditable(true); //if you want to put text in it
field.setEditable(false); //if you want to deactivate the textfield and make it uneditable which means you can't type.
