Re: Disable ESC on JOptionPane

Does all of that means you guys don't know how to do that, or you're
just trying to sound like my parents? The decision about disabling the
ESC key or not is not up to me. I wouldn't do that on a personal
project, but that's not my personal project, and I HAVE to do that.
But thanks anyway.

It means I don't know how to do it, don't want to know
how to do it, and would resist the suggestion to do it. Oh,
yeah, it also means I like to sound like your parents. (In
light of the parental authority you seek to exert over your
users, I don't think you can object too strenuously ...)

The new piece of information you've provided is that
the idea of disabling the users' controls is not yours but
someone else's. Perhaps you might bring to his or her
notice some of the opinions expressed on this thread; the
fact that sentiment so far is *unanimous* disapproval may
provide a clue to how well the software will be accepted
when released. Or perhaps the users are a captive audience
with no power to refuse software they don't like: If so,
I'm sorry for them.

"There is nothing wrong with your television set.
Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are
controlling the transmission. If we wish to make it
louder, we will bring up the volume. If we wish to
make it softer, we will tune it to a whisper. We
will control the horizontal. We will control the
vertical. We can roll the image; make it flutter.
We can change the focus to a soft blur or sharpen
it to crystal clarity. For the next hour, sit
quietly and we will control all that you see and
hear."
