Instant value change handler on a GWT textbox.

Question

I would like to update a text field instantly when typing in a GWT TextBox. My problem is that ValueChangeEvent and ChangeEvent handlers only fire when the TextBox loses focus. I thought about using the KeyPressEvent but then nothing would happen when performing a copy paste with the mouse.

What's the simplest way to do that ?

Answer 1

Why not use combination of both KeyUpHandler and a ChangeHandler on the TextBox? Should take care of immediate feedback on each keystroke as well as copy paste case as well.
