add AWT-Event to Max-Application (for getting Keystrokes)

Hi guys!

I tried to build a mxk object, that ouputs all the kye strokes even if the Pathcer (M4L-device) doesn't have the focus.
(For the AWT.KeyEvent you would need to apply the EventListener to a UI-Object, so my idea was to add a general EventListener to the Max application and than ask wheather it's a KeyEvent.)

So here's my source code:

import com.cycling74.max.*;
import java.awt.AWTEvent;
import java.awt.Toolkit;
import java.awt.event.AWTEventListener;
import java.awt.*;

public class getKeystroke extends MaxObject {

    private static final String[] INLET_ASSIST = new String[]{
        "inlet 1 help"
    };
    private static final String[] OUTLET_ASSIST = new String[]{
        "outlet 1 help"
    };

    public getKeystroke(Atom[] args)
    {
        declareInlets(new int[]{DataTypes.ALL});
        declareOutlets(new int[]{DataTypes.ALL});

        setInletAssist(INLET_ASSIST);
        setOutletAssist(OUTLET_ASSIST);

        Toolkit tk = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
        tk.addAWTEventListener(new AWTEventListener() {
        public void eventDispatched(AWTEvent e)
    {
outlet(0,e.getID());
    }
        }, AWTEvent.KEY_EVENT_MASK );

    }

    public void bang()
    {
    outlet(0,"BANG ");
    }

    public void inlet(int i)
    {
    }

    public void inlet(float f)
    {
    }

    public void list(Atom[] list)
    {
    }

}

It doesn't work in Max (Max4Live). But the funny thing is when I edit the code via [mxj quickie]: Every keystroke that I make in the JAVA EDITOR is printed out in the MAX APPLICATION. strange, hm?!

Any advices are welcome!

Thanks,
simon
