Hi, 

JTextField has a readonly property: 
  nameTextField.setReadonly(true);
This means the background of the field becomes 
gray, while the text remains black and the user 
can still select text, but cannot modify. 

JCheckBox and JRadioButton do not have such a 
property, but I need it. 

I do not want to use the enabled property 
because the component label/text becomes 
darkgray. 

Do you know a way to create a readonly 
JCheckBox or JRadioButton, or does anyone 
know how to change the textcolor and bullet- 
color of a disabled component to black. 

Thank you very much!
