In order to modify what gets pasted to my application, I'm attempting
to intercept ONPASTE events as described by Jim Douglas in this
thread:

http://groups.google.com/group/google-web-toolkit/browse_thread/thread/09a3527707d22be0?fwc=1

The problem is that I'm never seeing the ONPASTE event occur.  I've
tried firefox and safari.

I'm able to see MOUSEDOWN detected and I get "BROWSER EVENT DETECTED"
whenever I move the mouse over the RichTextAreaWithPaste (see code
below), but whether I use Control-V (or Command-V on the Mac) or the
context menu for pasting, I never see "PASTE DETECTED".

I'm wondering if anyone has any clues that might help?

Thanks,

Here's my subclass of RichTextArea:

package com.whatever.client;

import com.google.gwt.user.client.Event;
import com.google.gwt.user.client.ui.RichTextArea;

public class RichTextAreaWithPaste extends RichTextArea {

       public RichTextAreaWithPaste() {
               super();
               sinkEvents(Event.ONPASTE);
               sinkEvents(Event.ONMOUSEDOWN);

       }

       @Override
       public void onBrowserEvent(Event event) {
               super.onBrowserEvent(event);
               log("BROWSER EVENT DETECTED");
               switch (event.getTypeInt()) {
               case Event.ONPASTE:
                        log("PASTE DETECTED");
                       break;
               case Event.ONMOUSEDOWN:
                       log("MOUSEDOWN DETECTED");
                }
       }
}
