Where is the information what key has been pressed [message #1065684] Thu, 27 June 2013 07:01 Go to next message

I am using:
text.addVerifyListener(new VerifyListener() {
      boolean ignore;

      @Override
      public void verifyText(VerifyEvent e) {
}});

... to filter characters that can be entered into my text field. I need to detect that Ctrl-x has been pressed so to delete the selected text. I don't seem to be able to find that info in the VerifyEvent event (the character member is empty).

Regards,
Janusz

dunno, worked for me


import org.eclipse.swt.SWT;
import org.eclipse.swt.events.KeyEvent;
import org.eclipse.swt.events.KeyListener;
import org.eclipse.swt.layout.FillLayout;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Shell;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Text;


public class cntlXcheck {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
	    final Display
	    display = new Display();
	    Shell shell = new Shell(display);
	    shell.setBounds(10, 10, 200, 200);
	    shell.setLayout(new FillLayout());
	    Text text = new Text(shell, SWT.NONE);
	    text.addKeyListener(new KeyListener() {
			
			public void keyReleased(KeyEvent arg0) {
				if (arg0.keyCode == 'x' && arg0.stateMask == SWT.CTRL){
					System.out.println("pressed");
				}
				
			}
			
			public void keyPressed(KeyEvent arg0) {
				// TODO Auto-generated method stub
				
			}
		});
	    
	    shell.open();
	    while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
	        if (!display.readAndDispatch()) display.sleep();
	    }
	    display.dispose();
	}
}

I have this code fragment to handle it:

}
@Override
      public void verifyText(VerifyEvent e) {
        ControlDecoration decorator = (ControlDecoration) text.getData(DECORATOR_DATA);
        boolean isCtrlX = (e.stateMask == SWT.CTRL) && (e.character == '\u0018');
        if (((e.stateMask & SWT.CTRL) == SWT.CTRL) && (e.keyCode == 'x')) {
          System.out.println();
        } ...
     

I set a break point at System.out.println() but debugger never hits it - although I press multiple times ctrl-x.
Regards,
Janusz
