Highlighing Text in non-Focussed Containers

[Mike Westerfield]

I have a JTextPane (actually, two of them) with text selected. I would
like for the selection to show up even when the JTextPane does not
have the focus, but the highlight vanishes when the focus is lost.

Short of writing a new Highlighter and replacing the default one, is
there any way to accomplish this?

If writing a new Highlighter is the best way to accomplish this, I
suspect there must be a few laying around. Does anyone have a URL for
such a class?

Thanks,

Mike Westerfield

hiding the selection highlighter is done in DefaultCaret - so the
solution is to use a custom caret that doesn't.
