GXT get value of TextArea without focus loss <p>I have a GXT 3 TextArea on which I catch copy-paste events. On this event, I would like to get the text that is inside the textarea.</p> <p><strong>Problem</strong> : the textarea still has the focus so the value is not updated. Hence, <code>getValue()</code> returns an empty string...</p> <p>I tried to call <code>getValue()</code> <code>getCurrentValue()</code> <code>flush()</code> <code>validate()</code>. </p> <p>I also tried to extend <code>TextArea</code> to have access to <code>blur()</code> method and call it before getting the value : it makes no difference.</p> <p>Any solution? (even solution with GWT components would be appreciated).</p>
