I’m creating a text box that automatically completes the input from a list. For example, if you enter 345, it might check the list and find 345678, and then the text box has 345, and then 678 highlighted.

This way, if you continue typing something different, it removes the automatically appended text.

I tried doing it with the keyReleased event, but there were user experience problems if more than one key was pressed at a time (something very common when typing fast). But I soon found out that the keyPressed event doesn’t add the text typed until after the event handler(s) is/are called.

So I need to find out a way to fire my event handler after SWT has handled it. Is this possible?

    I think SWT.Modify event can provide what you need. Have a look at the ModifyListener documentation.
