Hi,
I need to prevent the delete action from occurring in my editor on delete key press based certain constraints.

I have added a KeyListener to my editor. In the listener even though i give doit = false; i couldnt prevent the delete action.

Kindly provide me a solution.

Thanks,
Suresh

Note that pressing the delete key and running the Delete action are two
different things. In order to catch the delete action you need to add a
VerifyListener and not a VerifyKeyListener.
