Hi!

I have a view-stack with varying amounts of open views, that most have a default button. That simply doesn't work, yet.

Problem 1 is, that it's not enough to set a button as default on creation of the view. OK, so the shell for the view-stack is always the same, so the 2nd created view catches the default button.

Problem 2 is, that I just can not recognize, when the user switches between views. I think it should be like "button.addListener(SWT.Show, myListener);"
But the SWT.Show, SWT.Hide, SWT.Traverse do not work in my app (RAP 1.3 M6). They never get triggered. Why?

Problem 3 is, that the once set default button for a shell can not be completly reset. A also have views without a default button. When I open and close a view that had a default button and open a new view without any default button I get: WIDGET IS DISPOSED. I tried to reset it via shell.setDefaultButton(null); But that does not work. When I call shell.getDefaultButton(); afterwards I get the button once defined.

-> SWT.Show really does not work?
-> "Cleaning" default button of a shell is impossible?

Best regards,
Bassspieler

This fact alone let me doubt that the use of default buttons is
appropriate for your case.

The class doc of Button states which events are available for this
widget. To get notified on part activation, you need a PartListener.

Thx for the hint on recognizing view activations.
I have a view-stack. There is only 1 view visible at a time. And I want the default-button-behaviour. So I used: shell.setDefaultButton()

What about the "reset-default-button-to-default" problem?

Please read the JavaDoc for Shell#setDefaultButton(). If you find a case
where it does not work as described, please open a bug and add a simple
code snippet to reproduce.
