Hi all,
maybe this is a FAQ, but I can't get it done:

I have a frame with a number of controls on it - say edits. I would
like to perform a specific action whenever a special key - say F5 - is
pressed, regardless of which edit currently has input focus.

I tried enableEvents(AWTEvent.KEY_EVENT_MASK) for the frame. However
the processKeyEvent (KeyEvent e) handler doesn't get called when an
edit (another key event listener) has input focus.

How can I archive that? How to check events before the edits eat them?

Thanks in advance
Torsten
