[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: [How to] SWT -> Listeners for MenuItem

["Didier Montet" <didier.montet@xxxxxxxxx>]

I don't know weither it is a bug or not. I thought the SWT.Arm event was
sent when the mouse cursor was over the menu item. The mechanism doesn't
seem to be so. So I don't know which listener I must add neither which
object will be the right one to listen.
Have you any idea?
Thanks a lot.
