Disable Caret in a Document

[Mike DeStefano]

I have an uneditable JTextArea embedded within a JScrollPane. Is there any way to remove the caret in the JTextArea document so that UP and DOWN don't move the document.

Thanks in advance..

textArea.getCaret().setVisible(false);

You can still use the arrow keys to scroll the text area after setting the caret invisible.

JTextArea.setFocusable(false);

OMG!!! It worked!!! Praise Zeus and the Java Gods! To think disabling scrolling on UP and DOWN keyboard events was that easy! GGGGEEEEEEZZZZ!!!

Thanks very much!
