The return key in a textfield is special since it will send an
EVENT.ACTION_EVENT event to the textfield. You can do what you want
either by overriding the "action" method in your textfield or by
catching the relevant event.

|I have a program in which I create a Dialog and place a Textfield in it
|with two buttons, Ok and Cancel. As it is, the user types something in
|the Textfield and then can either click on Ok or Cancel and have the
|desired effect. In addition, I want the user to be able to press the
|return key and have the same effect as clicking on the Ok button. I had
|assumed I would have to check for an Event with a KEY_PRESS id and it's
|key set to '\n' or something of that nature. After doing some testing,
|what I need appears to be an Event with an id of 1001, or Event.END. Is
|this correct? From looking at java.awt.Event it seems as if Event.END is
|to be used for the 'end' key, not the return key. Any help in resolving
|my confusion would be greatly appreciated.
