[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Dialog eating selection events

[David Huebel <davidhuebel@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a custom widget (a Composite subclass) that I use in my application
window and in a org.eclipse.jface.dialogs.Dialog subclass.  Inside this
widget I have various Texts.  When a user presses "Enter" in a text box, I
run a search and update the widget.  Each Text has a SelectionListener that
triggers the search job.

This works fine when the widget is inside the application window.  However,
when the widget is in the dialog area of my Dialog subclass,
pressing "Enter" always triggers the default button of the Dialog.  I
thought about setting doit to false on the SelectionEvent, but my
SelectionListeners are never run, so I don't have the opportunity.

How do I consume default selection events in my widget to stop them from
propagating up to the dialog?  (When focus is elsewhere in the dialog, but
not in my widget, I want "Enter" to trigger the dialog's default button as
usual.)

Thanks,
David
