[Advanced-java] deactivate key events

[sam@xxxxxxxxxxx (Sam Berger)]

Hi,
my goal is to make a modal internal frame, with other words: popup an
internal frame and as long as the frame is shown, all components in the
background are not editable, neither with a mouse-input nor a key-input. I
took a JLayeredPane, put the 'background-components' in the background, in
the middle a GlasPane and in the front my lovely internal frame. With the
GlasPane, all mouse-events can be cuptured, but you can still handle the
whole thing with the keyboard. Does somebody knows, if it is possible to cut
the 'input-event-tube' from a component? It would be really cool, if someone
could give me a hint!

thanks
