Hi rap community and developers,

I've got a question about the shell's setDefaultButton - method in rwt.
Is it possible to clear the default button (to empty, i.e. no button)?

The java-doc for Shell#setDefaultButton( Button button ) states:
Quote:

If the argument is not null, sets the receiver's default button to the argument, and if the argument is null, sets the receiver's default button to the first button which was set as the receiver's default button (called the saved default button). If no default button had previously been set, or the saved default button was disposed, the receiver's default button will be set to null.



I do not exactly understand that doc. So it is not possible to set the default button to 'none'?
Assuming that a shell by default has the save (first) button as default button, all subsecently calls 'setDefaultButton( null )' always set the default button to the previous set button, that is the save button ...

Jens,

from playing around with the snippet below in SWT, I don't get the right
clue either:
shell.setDefaultButton( savedDefault );
System.out.println( shell.getDefaultButton() ); // savedDefault

shell.setDefaultButton( defaultButton );
System.out.println( shell.getDefaultButton() ); // defaultButton

shell.setDefaultButton( null );
System.out.println( shell.getDefaultButton() ); // defaultButton ???

shell.setDefaultButton( null );
System.out.println( shell.getDefaultButton() ); // null

However, resetting the default button twice or something like
while( shell.getDefaultButton() != null ) {
shell.setDefaultButton( null );
}
should do.

You may ask on the SWT forum get a proper explanation. If you do so,
please let us know the answer here.

Hi Rüdiger,

thanks for quickly looking into this.

The reason I asked this is, that I encountered - along with that 'special' setDefaultButton behaviour - a different behaviour concerning a Dialog's default button event processing.
I made two snippet application's, one for RCP and one for RAP to reproduce that.

I felt free to file a bug report in the RAP team's bugzilla, the two snippet eclipse projects included:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=340736

RAP tested against 1.4M6.
RCP tested against e3.6
