Q:

Readonly JFormattedTextField

Supossing that a JFormattedTextField is enabled and contains a formatter, is there a way to make it readonly? With a JTextField, we just need to suply a custom Document and do all the control there, but with a JFormattedTextField I suppose that things are a little more complicated as we don't want to mess with its document filter. I really need this feature. So, is there a way to achieve this?
UPDATE: Just my opinion, but it seems that the JFormattedTextField is so bad designed in this sense that it leaves no easy solution to this simple problem.

A:

You can simply use:
JFormattedTextField field = new JFormattedTextField();
// ...
field.setEditable(false);

just like for the JTextField since JFormattedTextField extends JTextField
Check out the javadoc as well.
