Select all (CTRL + A) option that is not in the SWT text box

Question

I am using the SWT application. I cannot select all the text in a text box or text area Ctrl+A.

Is there any way to achieve this?

Answer 1

text.addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter() {
    @Override
    public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e)
    {
        if (e.stateMask == SWT.CTRL && e.keyCode == 'a') {
            text.selectAll();
            e.doit = false;
        }
    }
});

Ideally, according to LAF doco, if you set the right look, you should get it automatically.

UIManager.setLookAndFeel(
            UIManager.getCrossPlatformLookAndFeelClassName());
