I'm making a typing tutor program, and I want the user to type a passage that it shown in a text area, but I don't want what they're typing to be shown on screen. So I am trying to add a keylistener to the text area that is showing the passage. The passage is set so that it is not editable, and also disabled( setEnabled(false)). Is there a way to do this, nothing I tried has worked? Thanks, Mike |

Couldn't you just not render the text instead of disabling the text field? |

How bout make it so that if getText() of this JTextArea is not nothing, append the text to a StringBuffer, then setText("")? Is that kinda what you want? |
