Hi floks,
is it possible to make some portion of the text to be
non-editable?
Thanks,

It is possible, but you would have to capture all of the keyboard events and when the user tried to edit the portion you wanted read only, you would have to "eat" those keystrokes somehow. I have done this in C++ and C but not
java.
This sounds like a bad idea and I think that you are going down the wrong road. Most chat programs have one textarea for display and a different textarea for typing.
