AbstractAction setting disabledIcon

Question

Friends,
I have an AbstractAction in a toolbar and I want to disable it until something happens. I've done this correctly, but by default it grayFilter's the Icon until it is enabled. I attempted setDisabledIcon(icon); but AbstractAction doesn't support that.
In my code I'm using:public SlideShowAction(SlideViewFrame frame) { super("Slide Show", showIcon);  ... } to set up the AbstractAction with the icon.
Is there a way to set the disabled icon so it isn't grayFiltered when it's disabled?
Thanks for your time!

Ok, the input map has a condition associated with it for when it applies. By default it's used when the component is focused. You might just be after using the "when in focused window" condition. You can then grab the focus to your text area if you wish.
Try this:
     public static void main(String[] args) {
          KeyStroke ks = KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_F3, 0);
          JTextArea ta = new JTextArea();
          ta.getInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_IN_FOCUSED_WINDOW).put(ks, "f3");
          ta.getActionMap().put("f3", new AbstractAction() {
               public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                    System.err.println(e);
                    ((JTextArea)e.getSource()).requestFocus();
          JFrame frame = new JFrame();
          frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          frame.getContentPane().setLayout(new GridLayout(2, 1));
          frame.getContentPane().add(ta);
          frame.getContentPane().add(new JButton("Foo"));
          frame.pack();
          frame.show();
     }Hope this helps.
