Automatically making a form dirty

[jfengel]

By default, a new form has its isDirty() method automatically return false.

The SWT interface for this is quite tedious, adding a listener to every field. Is there a way to automatically add such code, perhaps via data binding?

Off hand, I don't know whether the Eclipse DB API will do this.

Likely so, but this would be a good question for the appropriate Eclipse newsgroup.

Thanks. I couldn't find such a thing in the API, and I just wanted to make sure that there wasn't some crucial idiom I was missing.

I'm new to Eclipse/SWT/JFace, and I'm finding the complexity of the API rather unnerving.

The best place to ask SWT questions would be the Eclipse SWT newsgroup.
