Keybinding to custom dialog options?

Is there a way to bind a key to a certain task when a dialog box is open? For example, if I have a dialog box that comes up with multiple check-boxes and I want to check or un-check the box next to "trim" by hitting the T key, can this be done? Thanks for any help!

Yes it's possible but only with Photoshop CS4 as events handlers are bust in CS5.

var w = new Window('dialog','test checkbox');
w.cb1 = w.add('checkbox',undefined,'Trim');
w.bu1 = w.add('button',undefined,'cancel');
w.cb1.value=true;
w.addEventListener ('keydown', IsT);
function IsT (event) {
if  ((event.keyName =='t') || (event.keyName == 'T')) w.cb1.value=!w.cb1.value;
}
w.show();
