I need to disable StyledText and reenable it depending on user's mouse control.

I am doing this to disable it.

final StyledText sText = new StyledText(shell, SWT.WRAP | SWT.MULTI | SWT.BORDER);

sText.setEnabled(false);

And it has FocusListener.

The problem is that when I call setEnabled(false), when it loses the focus, but it doesn't capture focus when it's disabled. Is there a way to capture focus while it's not enabled Or is there a way to not editable instead of disabling it?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

This can be achieved by using VerifyKeyListener on StyledText. Depending
upon your condition, if event.doit set to false, then StyledText is not
allowed for any key operation.

sText.setEditable(false)
