Re: How would you implement a TextChanged event to FTC

Also my application stores the Text in a DB. Each time the user has changed the text or the formatting, I would like my app to store the changes too. Unfortunately, I can't do it because there is no 'TextChanged' event in FTC (first class component btw). 

You want to be careful if you do this. This event will be
triggered every time the user types on the keyboard. If you tie
the typing speed to a database, you will severely degrade
performance. Better to set a flag in this event and then use a low
priority thread to grab the text at specified intervals.

You can use the keyboard event to experiment with
the performance issue for now until I get this implemented.
