[news.eclipse.platform.swt] Re: Receiving Key- and MouseEvents while bei

["Grant Gayed" <grant_gayed@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Andreas,

There is no api for this.  The highest level you can add a key listener at
is Display.setFilter(...), which can notify you of any events within your
app.  I could not find an existing Feature Request for what you're asking,
so if you want you can log one at
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=Platform&component=SWT&bug_severity=enhancement .
