GWT pasting event

Question

I want to handle events when user pastes some text in TextBox. Which event is fired in this situation? I tried ValueChange and Change

Answer 1

GWT does not yet have support for cut, copy & paste: http://code.google.com/p/google-web-toolkit/issues/detail?id=4030

Edited: Another option is to use JSNI. For example add this to your GWT class:

public native void addCutHandler(Element element)
    /*-{
        var temp = this;  // hack to hold on to 'this' reference
        element.oncut = function(e) {
            temp.@org.package.YourClass::handleCut()();
        }
    }-*/;

public void handleCut() {
    Window.alert("Cut!");
}
