How do you listen to editor and view focus events? [message #462594]

Hi all,

I'm trying to respond to a view and editor loosing focus, i.e. the user has
gone to another view/editor.

I've added focusListeners to the main composites in the view and editor but
they are never called when I switch to another view/editor.

Anyone one have any ideas on what to try next?

I've even tried it in the editor with:

Control tabbedFolder = getContainer();
Composite editorPage = tabbedFolder.getParent();
editorPage.addFocusListener(new FocusAdapter() {}

Regards,

Tim.
