I'm using KeyPressFcn for an edit control. The problem is that within
KeyPressFcn I need the actual String of the edit control _including_ the
last typed character. However, within KeyPressFcn I only can get the 'old'
value of the edit control before the key was pressed. This is of no use to
me... Does anybody know a workaround for this without writing a complete
interpreter for all keystrokes such that I have to calculate myself what the
new contents of the edit control will be?

OK, thanks for the pointer Yair. I downloaded your 'findjobj' and try to
find out the essence of it so I can write a smaller version of the whole
underlying idea, for performance issues. Only need the single 'edit'-thingie
:-)
