Disabling the keyevents

Question

the problem iam facing is that, my application has several screens and each screen change occurs after pressing <spacebar>, i have to execute a function xyz() that runs for 1 min at the 3rd screen. The problem is that while the func xyz() is exec. if someone presses the <spacebar> the keyevent getstored on the queue and as soon as the func exited it gets handled, how could i stop the events from being enqueued.

Answer 1

if someone presses the <spacebar> the keyevent getstored
on the queue and as soon as the func exited it gets
handledYou can use an KeyListener to ignore these keys.

should be able to stop an action. If it takes to long to stop, do the rest of the work in background and discard the result afterwards.
