Java delete key compare

Question

Hi I ve got one problem:

I write a little calculator in Java Swing. I ve got buttons bind with KeyBindings and then in actionPerformed I check which key was pressed, it's something like that:

if(event.getActionCommand().equals("\b")) {
}

My question is: is there any way to compare delete button, like backspace button is compared above?

You can use KeyEvent constants to check whether delete key was pressed, eg:

if (event.getExtendedKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_DELETE) {
    //do something
}

Here 's javadoc for KeyEvent class.
