KeyListener in a ViewPart [message #164087]

I have this view which contains a composite which contains a label. Now,
the label already has a MouseListener and a MouseMoveListener attached
to it and they work perfectly. But I also need a KeyListener hooked to
it and just adding it to the label doesn't seem to work. His methods are
never called when a key is pressed. Any ideas? Thanx in advance.

Using draw2d to build lightweight widgets is not encouraged, but we do it in
the palette. My guess is your Label doesn't have focus. I think that
Clickable is the only figure which accepts focus by default. The focus
methods on Figure behave like AWT or SWT focusing rules.

Maybe you should be using a clickable if your label is so interactive??
