Inspect text as it is entered

  • Use a VerifyListener to inspect text as it is entered in the Text control.
  • Use event.doit to accept or reject the key stroke.
  • Get keystroke through event.text. (A backspace will return an empty string)
    • To react after changes have been made

  • Use a ModifyListener.
  • Keep in mind that VerifyListeners will be able to process key strokes before ModifyListeners.
