I created a popup form to change the title of a lable. I want the lable
to start with the text highlighted so the user can type and if they press
enter it will defualt to the ok button.
He is how I tried to set it up
protected Control createContents(final Composite parent)
{
final SashForm ChangeTitle =
new SashForm(
parent,
SWT.APPLICATION_MODAL | SWT.BORDER | SWT.VERTICAL);
Label lbl = new Label(ChangeTitle, SWT.BORDER);
lbl.setText("Enter New Title");
Font f = new Font(getShell().getDisplay(), "Courier", 14, SWT.BOLD);
lbl.setFont(f);
lbl.setAlignment(SWT.CENTER);
lbl.setSize(300, 100);
final Text text = new Text(ChangeTitle, SWT.CENTER);
text.setText(m.getTitle());
SashForm sash = new SashForm(ChangeTitle, SWT.HORIZONTAL);
text.setSize(80, 20);
Button butOk = new Button(sash, SWT.DefaultSelection);
butOk.setText("OK");
butOk.setAlignment(SWT.CENTER);
butOk.setFocus();
Button butCancel = new Button(sash, SWT.PUSH);
butCancel.setText("Cancel");
butCancel.setAlignment(SWT.CENTER);
butOk.setFont(f);
butCancel.setFont(f);
parent.setLocation(0, 0);
parent.setSize(300, 100);
text.selectAll();
butOk.addListener(SWT.Selection, new Listener()
{
public void handleEvent(Event event)
{
m.setTitle(text.getText());
parent.dispose();
}
});
butCancel.addListener(SWT.Selection, new Listener()
{
public void handleEvent(Event event)
{
parent.dispose();
}
});
return ChangeTitle;
}
}
what I am doing wrong?

SWT.DefaultSelection is an event constant (the hint here is that it
contains lowercase characters). Use SWT.PUSH and then use
parent.getShell().setDefaultButton(butOK) to set it as the default
Button. You can also use Widget#setFocus() give a button focus, though
it won't automatically become the default. However, this is a good idea
on platforms like Windows which make the default button pass with the
button which has focus.
