I know this is off topic for this list, but I also know that there are
several excellent SWT programmers that frequent this list who probably know
the answer to my question.
The objective is to make it possible for a blind user of an SWT GUI to
navigate through a list of items, such as might be found in a Combo, a List,
or perhaps a set of Radio buttons, and cause an event to be fired for one
and only one of the items in the list when that item is chosen.
It looks to me like using the following code to register a listener on each
item in the list causes each item to fire an event when the arrow keys are
used to traverse the list:
addSelectionListener(new SelectionAdapter()
I guess what I am looking for is something like an ActionListener in the AWT
and Swing that can be fired by pressing the Return key after the arrow keys
have been used to choose a specific item.
I am finding that learning the SWT and trying to achieve accessibility for
blind users at the same time is something of a challenge.
If you prefer to contact me and have this discussion off list, that will be
OK with me.
Thanks,
Dick Baldwin
