setEnabled（false）之后，jTextArea背景不变

Question

i have set setEnabled(false) for my jTextArea in a netbeans. The textarea is disabled but its background colour is not changing from white to a 'grayish' as expected. This only happens if i run my project from main class. It changes the background colour to a 'grayish' while running from the jForm containing the textArea. Why is this?

Answer 1

You would need to make the code followed by jTextArea1.setBackground(Color.GREY); So it will look like this.

jTextArea1.setEnabled(false); jScrollPane1.setEnabled(false);
jTextArea1.setBackground(Color.GREY);
