Hi,

Could you tell me how to get F1 key event which is
nothing to do with any control's focuses?

For example, suppose there's a button saying "F1 exit",
and the focus is on some other button.
In such case, if user push F1, program should exits.
That's what I want to do.

Thank you.

I believe you will need to create a KeyListner and add it to each control
that will gain focus at any point. You can add multiple key listeners, so
the only pain is having to add a line for each control object.

Hi Emma,

I think the Display.addFilter() method is what you're looking for.
