Hello,

I have a dialog window (a progress window, which tracks a certain operation)
which should be closed when user presses ESC and the operation this dialog
tracks should be canceled. How can I do this best? The closing of the dialog is
already automatically done when pressing ESC, but how can I listen to the key
press and cancel the operation? Adding a key listener to the shell does not work.
