Fire property chane events when key is pressed? [message #1749254]

Hi there,

I'm wondering if there is some kind of property change listener, that gets fired when a key was pressed in a StringField?

Right now the registered property change listener on a StringField gets fired, when the StringField lost the focus.

In my use case, I want to start a query on typing and then populate the table page while the user types his query criteria.

Thanks

Peter

Take a look at the methods getConfiguredUpdateDisplayTextOnModify(), setUpdateDisplayTextOnModify(boolean), isUpdateDisplayTextOnModify(). If you set this property to true, the model also gets notified while the user is editing the field.
