How to see the event result from an EVT_CHAR handler

[Fulvio Senore]

I have an event handler for the EVT_CHAR event. In that event handler I
call event.Skip() to process the event if the char is an allowed one.
Is there a way to see the resulting content of the control after the
char is handled, from inside the same event handler?

If I call GatValue() after Skip() the result is the same as before.

For example, if the user presses the '1' key I would like the content of
the control with the '1' typed by the user.

Thank in advance.

No.

The best you can do is to use CallAfter() to execute some code "some time
later".

Thank you for your answer. As usual, when there is no way to do a thing
in a certain way, this means that there are better ways to do it.

After some time I realized that I could use the EVT_TEXT event to solve
my problem.
