Event on the button (SWT)

[Lukasz Kaleta]

I wont to click on the button (in SWT) and this button must generete the same result when I push CAPS_LOCK on the keyboard. How to do this, please write some code example

I'm not sure I understand your question... do you mean that clicking the button in your UI should activate the Caps Lock key on your keyboard? Off the top of my head, I'm not sure that is possible. If you can explain your situation & requirements a bit more clearly, I'll try to help you out.

If Stephen is correct in his assumption I would have to agree with him. However, you could emulate this funcationallity. When the button is pressed you could make sure that whatever is typed in the text area is converted to all caps as it is typed. Although the light on the keyboard will not change.

Gregg is right, emulating this in an SWT text area is not hard. The most straightforward approach is to listen for button presses, and when they occur simply update a flag indicating whether or not to capitalize. Then you can use a VerifyListener on the Text widget to capitalize text as it is entered, if the flag is turned on.

And, as a happy coincidence, capitalizing text with a VerifyListener is the very example that starts off Chapter 5 of our book .
