Hi. I want when i click the button the TextArea and appear as disabled or enabled...The problem is that the following code executes twice.... so everything still stays the same..

void mybuttonfunction(Button b,Event evt){
if ( (b.getLabel()=="Hide") ){
System.out.println(evt.id);
MyText.disable();
b.setLabel("Unhide");
}
if ( (b.getLabel()=="Unhide") & ( evt.id==1001) ){
System.out.println(evt.id);
MyText.enable();
b.setLabel("Hide");
//MyText.setText(DateFormat.getDateInstance().format(MyDate));
MyText.setText(DateFormat.getDateInstance().format(MyDate));
repaint();
}

}

When you click on a button, two events (buttonPress and buttonRelease) are processed, thus the double execution.

Usually only the release event should trigger an action.

implement ActionListener somewhere and do myButton.addActionListener(somewhere); then add the same code you have above to the ActionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) method of somewhere.
