OK, so I don't even know what it's actually called, but for example, in Java:

exitItem.addSelectionListener(new SelectionAdapter() {

            @Override
            public void widgetSelected(SelectionEvent e) {
                shell.getDisplay().dispose();
                System.exit(0);
            }
        });

You can create a new subclass of one you want to use in a function, with subclass function overrides such as this, but yet I can't seem to figure out how to do this in D.  The first bracket always has a red underline telling me it's expecting a ')' (or a ';' in the case of trying to declare the listener before using it in addSelectionListener).

That does already exists in D.

The syntax is:

new class SelectionAdapter { ... }

BTW, you may find that digitalmars.D.learn is a better place to post questions.
