Text type listener problem [message #481704]

I create standard Text component and add listener:
txtUsername.addListener(SWT.KeyUp, listener);

The problem is that, when call "txtUsername.getText()" in the listener -
the last letter is missing. Example: I've written "test" in the
"txtUsername" field and when I call "txtUsername.getText()" in the
listener it returns "tes"(without "t").

Thanks!

Hi,

the KeyEvents were originally invented for the usage in celleditors.
You should go for ModifyListener (or VerifyListener if needed) and not
use the raw KeyListeners.

If you still encounter problems, you should provide a small snippet to
show the problem.

Regards
Ben
