replicating SWING/AWT keyPressed and keyTyped events [message #439985]

Hi All,

Can someone tell me what is the best way of replicating the behaviour of
the SWING/AWT keyPressed and keyTyped events? (SWT only having the more
sensible keyPressed and keyReleased) I have some code I am converting
over from swing and it has quite a complicated set of interactions with
these events. It would be simpler just to replicate them I think.

I think I can replicate this by just have keypressed being called twice
whenever I press a key, one where keyTyped is fired and a subsequent one
where keyPressed is fired. Complexities arise though as I need to be
able to consume the event (e.doit = false) separately for each event.

Any help would be appreciated!

I suggest you rewrite the code. There isn't a simple mapping.
