Modifying the default behaviour of TrayItem [message #445691]

Hello,

I am attempting to modify the default behaviour of TrayItem when it is
clicked.
Currently, I believe that the TrayItem will only listen to 3 events -
MenuDetect, DefaultSelection, and Selection.
I want the tray item to also listen for keyboard presses - such as a Ctrl
held down whilst the trayItem is being clicked.
Alternatively, can I listen for 4 mouse clicks?

Summarising, I want to change the default events that TrayItem listens
for.
Since I am a nOOb, pseudo-code would be very very helpful! ;)

Thanks.

Chee

This is by design. It's not clear that TrayItem is a control in the
operating system and can even take keyboard focus. Therefore, it isn't safe
to offer all the events that a control can get as SWT API.
