Disabled components

[Jennifer Sohl]

Hi. I was wondering how I could change the background and foreground on a component that has been disabled.
I have run in to a couple of problems.
I have a JTextField disabled and I am able change the background color, but I can't seem to get the foreground color to change??
I also have a JComboBox that I have disabled. I can change the background to white, but the list part of it is still grey. How do I change the list part of the component and the foreground as well?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks.

Try setDisabledTextColor() from JTextComponent for the text field.
I'm not sure what you mean by the "list part" of the combo box. The little arrow/button thingie? I didn't think the actual list would pop up if the combo box was diabled.

Your answer to the JTextfield problem was just what I needed. However is it possible to do the same sort of thing with the text element of a JSpinner ?

Thanks

JTextField tf = ((JSpinner.DefaultEditor)spinner.getEditor()).getTextField();
tf.setEnabled(false);
tf.setDisabledTextColor(UIManager.getColor("TextField.foreground"));
