Re: [platform-swt-dev] How to add key event filter for an application?
|
Display.addFilter(..) can be used to listen for key events (like
SWT.KeyDown) before the event reaches the widget hierarchy. I don't think
the same functionality exists for mouse events.
Note: if you are developing plugins for eclipse, you should know that
eclipse itself uses this method to process its own key bindings. Using
this method in this case would be strongly discouraged.

[platform-swt-dev] How to add key event filter for an application?
Hi,
Can I intercept key or mouse events before they are sent to widgets? I
have checked API document and found Display class has addListener(int
eventType, Listener listener) method. However, when I tried the following
code snippet, it never got called at all when I pressed key.
display.addListener(SWT.KeyDown, new Listener() {
public ovid handleEvent(Event e) {
System.out.println("Hello, world!");
}
});
Can anybody throw some light on this problem? Thanks.
