Interface TextChangeListener

All Superinterfaces:
EventListener, SWTEventListener
public interface TextChangeListener extends SWTEventListener
The StyledText widget implements this listener to receive notifications when changes to the model occur. It is not intended to be implemented by clients or by implementors of StyledTextContent. Clients should listen to the ModifyEvent or ExtendedModifyEvent that is sent by the StyledText widget to receive text change notifications. Implementors of StyledTextContent should call the textChanging and textChanged methods when text changes occur as described below. If the entire text is replaced the textSet method should be called instead.
