Bug 88600

Description Jesse Eichar 2005-03-20 17:09:49 EST

I want to embed a java.awt.Frame in a Embedded widget and then set that
widget as disabled.  According to books and articles I've read I am
supposed to be able to listen to the parent and receive all the events
raised in the child.  Keyboard events are the ones I am mostly
interested in (mainly because mouse events work in my case).

  I am using eclipse 3.1 M4.

 I used the following code to embed a java.awt.Frame in and RCP app.


 >        parent=new Composite(comp, SWT.EMBEDDED | SWT.NO_BACKGROUND);
 >        parent.setEnabled(false);
 >        SWT_AWT.new_Frame(parent).add(this); //the this object is a
 >java.awt.Canvas
 >        parent=comp;


 This is a fragment from the constructor of a implementation of
 java.awt.Canvas.


 When the canvas object has been created the keyboard events do not seem
 to be processed.  Eclipse commands are not processed and if I put a key
 listener on comp no keyboard events are received.

 However if I switch to another window then back to the app the keyboard
 events are processed correctly.


 I will attach an example where I'm attempting to reproduce the
 behaviour. but it is not working correctly.  In the view I've named
 "view that accepts keyboard event"  mouse events work but it seems to me
 that keyboard events should work as well.  In the other view no events
 are being handled and I don't know why.
