Can I somehow find out what was the change in the textfield? I would want to compare the old text with the new text ... the problem is, that I have multiple textAreas in a tab-editor, and all the textAreas are watched by one eventListener. I want to get a value calculated by the next formula:
globalChangeCount += thisTextArea.currentCharacterCount - thisTextArea.oldtCharacterCount
where the globalChangeCount is a value modified by all changes in any of the textAreas.
I am searching for these values through the event variable, but can't seam to find the old text of the textArea.
