[platform-ui-dev] How to capture all key event

[jml <jml@xxxxxxxx>]

I posted this question on the eclipse.tools newsgroup, but not getting 
answer, so I ask here. Forgive me if this is the wrong place. //jml



Hi,
My plugin has a control that I want to it be able to capture all key 
event. But unfortunately, seemed that it can't capture those menu 
keyboard shortcut, such as "ALT+F". I tried to trace into swt, and found 
that readAndDispatch() will call filterMessage(), which will result in 
calling translateAccelerator(), and which result in calling 
OS.TranslateAccelerator(), thus Windows will do the dirty work. I can't 
find a place that I can override the default behavior, 
Control.translateAccelerator() look like one that I can use, but it is 
package private.

Any idea how I can work around this?

Thanks in advance.
