Appropriate Listener for SWT Text

I have a JFace dialog which contains SWT Text and a button . Initially when the dialog is opened the button should be disabled, and when I click on the Text and as long as the caret position of the Text is visible button should be enabled.

These are the listeners i am using :

text.addMouseListener(new MouseListener() 
    {
        @Override
        public void mouseDoubleClick(MouseEvent arg0) 
        {

        }

        @Override
        public void mouseDown(MouseEvent arg0) 
        {

        }

        @Override
        public void mouseUp(MouseEvent arg0) 
        {
            testButton.setEnabled(true);

        }   

    });

    text.addFocusListener(new FocusListener() {

        @Override
        public void focusLost(FocusEvent arg0) 
        {
            testButton.setEnabled(false);
        }

        @Override
        public void focusGained(FocusEvent arg0) 
        {

        }
    });

Am I using the appropriate listeners? Please suggest

If I understood you correctly, this should be what you want:

    button.setEnabled(false);
    button.addListener(SWT.Selection, new Listener()
    {
        @Override
        public void handleEvent(Event arg0)
        {
            button.setEnabled(false);
        }
    });

    text.addListener(SWT.FocusIn, new Listener()
    {
        @Override
        public void handleEvent(Event e)
        {
            button.setEnabled(true);
        }
    });

Initially, the Button is disabled. It will be enabled once the Text gaines focus. The Button will be disabled again after it was pressed.
