Method Detail

interceptKeyEvent

public boolean interceptKeyEvent(PHighlightedTextArea comp,
                                 KeyEvent e)

The PHighlightedTextArea will pass all key events to its auto-completer before processing the event for itself.

Parameters:

comp - The component which recieved the KeyEvent.

e - The event which occurred.
