I would like to have the copy functionality on the MultiErrorDialog but I need 
API to register the widget (a list) with the copy action.

You should not need special API outside the key binding service.

SWT's accelerator implementation doesn't allow the key binding service to 
define accelerators on dialogs.

Moving to SWT and upgrading to critical.

SN to investigate and advise
Comment 3 Veronika Irvine CLA 2003-01-24 10:08:25 EST 
Steve,  This is marked critical.  Please investigate and adjust 
severity/prioerity accordingly.
Comment 4 Tod Creasey CLA 2003-01-24 11:13:37 EST 
FYI we have a workaround for this case currently in place for 2.1
Comment 5 Steve Northover CLA 2003-10-01 10:05:17 EDT 
There is not plan to implement an accelerator service that is independent of 
the menu bar.  With the advent of Display.addFilter() and recent changes to 
SWT.KeyDown, programmers who insist on defining an accelerator mechanism that 
is non-standard can do so.
