Hi,

I have a textfield and a button. I want the user to automatically enter text
to the textfield when joining the page and if he presses ENTER the button
should be triggerd.

How do I do that?

Thanks in advance,
Torge.

For SINGLE Texts, a SWT.DefaultSelection event is fired on Enter key
press. Thus, if your text field is a SINGLE Text, you can simply add a
SelectionListener on it and trigger the button on widgetDefaultSelected.

You can also make your Button the default button on the containing Shell
(Shell#setDefaultButton). In this case, the button is triggered whenever
Enter is pressed somewhere inside the shell.

Best regards,
Ralf
