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.

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.
