you can't edit text in jtextfield if call seteditable(false). can't tab onto if call setfocusable(false) on well.

edit
ask:

where set it? tried jtextfield qtext = new jtextfield(seteditable(false)); not working.. or have make new method , call method?

your qtext field should private instance field. can call methods in quiz class's constructor.
