Ho could I erase the text field contents as soon as the user presses the CTRL key

[kei hosima]

Hello.
I hope someone could help me.
How could I erase a text field's contents as soon as the user presses the CTRL key while the text field has focus?
"data" is a properly instantiated TextField object with class-wide scope and the current object as its registered KeyListener.
public void keyTyped (KeyEvent e) {
TextField t = data.getText();
t.clearRect (0, 0, data.getWidth(), data.getHeight());
}
the above code won't work.
I would really appreciate your help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi kei,
Try something like this:

    public void keyTyped (KeyEvent e) {
        String mod = e.getKeyModifiersText().toUpperCase();
        if (mod.indexOf("CTRL") >= 0) {
            data.getText().setText("");
        }
    }
