Hello,
I am using SWT.Verity event to validate inputted value is correct.
Let's say user inputs 12345 then
In SWT, event.text return 5 but in RAP it returns 12345.
So I want to this is another limitation of RAP or it can be fixed.

Hi,
this is a limitation in RAP. See:

244008: VerifyEvent field values differ from SWT
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=244008

For text field validation we recommend client scripting solution. See [1], [2], [3].

HTH,
Ivan
