Setting a swing component to not editable...

Hi,

is it possible to set a swing component (e.g. JTextField) to not editable but on the other side the component should not be displayed in the typical grey looking style?

The background is, I' ve a lot of text fields on my page which all just display data - the user should not be able to edit any of these text fields - but I'd like them to be displayed as a normal (editable) white text field.

Any ideas on how to achive this?

Thanks in advance

- Stephan

I think it's better to create a class which extends JTextField, and add some color modifications in its constructor or setEditable() method.
