Hi all,

Does anyone know how to stop a key pressed from being added to the text of a text field?

I'm trying to implement some kind of content assist in an SWT dialog. I'm catching the key sequence as configured in eclipse preferences and trigger the content assist. I tried this using a KeyListener or a Listener.
It works but if the configured key trigger is something like CTRL-SPACE, then a space is also added to my text field, which is not what I want. So I'd like to know a way to stop the key pressed from being added to the text field.

Thanks for any help,

Maxime

It looks like catching the Verify event and setting event.doit to false does the job.

In case you're interested, there's a snippet that demonstrates an
implementation of content assist at
http://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.swt.git/tree/examples/org.eclipse.swt.snippets/src/org/eclipse/swt/snippets/Snippet320.java
..
