Hi,

I've got the problem that in the application I write people may drop
content from other applications like OpenOffice, Word, ... using cut and
past. Still I have to replace all Tab-Stops through whitespaces. How can
I trap the past action in the text field and replace the the tabs
through may whitespaces.

Thanks

Tom

If you are using a Text control, you can use the SWT.Verify notification to
change the text before the Text control sees it.
