I would try to build a customized Document to intercept the input.
Check out: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/generaltext.html# customdocument Pay attention to its insertString(...) method.

I have two questions regarding the handling of Enter key events by a JTextArea. How do I make a JTextArea component entirely unresponsive to the Enter key? I want a JTextArea that does nothing (not even inserting a newline character) whenever the user hits Enter. And how can I configure a JTextArea so that it does something *other than* inserting a newline character whenever the user hits Enter? Thanks! kj _______________________________________________ Swing mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://eos.dk/mailman/listinfo/swing
