    copied!<p>I'm looking to recognise two keystrokes from the ESC and F2 key. Below is how I recognise when the escape key is pressed:</p> <pre><code>// Enable escape to close the window by first returning the rootPane object for this frame, then the InputMap that is usedduring condition i.e. JComponent.WHEN_IN_FOCUSED_WINDOW // and then use function put to add a binding for keyStroke to actionMapKey frame.getRootPane().getInputMap(JComponent. WHEN_IN_FOCUSED_WINDOW).put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_ESCAPE, 0), "Cancel"); // Kill the AuotIt script when closing the window by first returning the rootPane object for this frame then the ActionMap used to determine what Action // to fire for particular KeyStroke binding. The returned ActionMap, unless otherwise set, will have the ActionMap from the UI set as the parent. frame.getRootPane().getActionMap().put("Cancel", new AbstractAction(){ public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent x) { // Undertake some action here } }); </code></pre> <p>I attempted the exact same thing but changing the keyevent to F2 but nothing happens when I press the F2 button. Below is how I attempted recognising the F2:</p> <pre><code>frame.getRootPane().getInputMap(JComponent.WHEN_FOCUSED).put(KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_F2, 0), "pressed"); // frame.getRootPane().getActionMap().put("pressed", new AbstractAction(){ public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent x) { // Change the hasusersetcomport flag in hasusersetcomport.txt to 0 notifyScriptThatUserNeedsCOMPorts("0"); // Notify Script That User Pressed Allow Pairing (which is the default setting for wasallowpairingpressed.txt) notifyScriptThatUserPressedAllowPairing("1"); // Write menu Item Event Control ID RFC95.writeMenuItemEventControlID("8"); // Write empty string into config file writeUserSelectedCOMportIntoConfigFile(""); // Notify user that current pairing has been deleted notifMssgLabel.setText("&lt;html&gt;&lt;p&gt;CURRENT PAIRING SETTING DELETED. WINDOW CLOSING&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/html&gt;"); notifMssgLabel.setForeground(officialSuccessFontColour); notifMssgLabel.setFont(officialFontBold); // Change the hasusersetcomport flag in hasusersetcomport.txt to 0 notifyScriptThatUserNeedsCOMPorts("0"); panelTimer.start(); } }); </code></pre> <p>Any ideas as to why I'm encountering the problem.</p> <p>Thanks.</p>
