import org.eclipse.swt.SWT;
import org.eclipse.swt.custom.StyledText;
import org.eclipse.swt.custom.VerifyKeyListener;
import org.eclipse.swt.events.VerifyEvent;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Display;
import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Shell;

public class StyledTextVerifyKeyListener {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    final Display display = new Display();
    final Shell shell = new Shell(display);

    StyledText styledText = new StyledText(shell, SWT.V_SCROLL | SWT.BORDER);
    styledText.setText("12345");

    styledText.addVerifyKeyListener(new VerifyKeyListener() {

      public void verifyKey(VerifyEvent e) {
        System.out.println(e.character);
        e.doit = false;

      }
    });

    styledText.setBounds(10, 10, 100, 100);
    shell.open();
    while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
      if (!display.readAndDispatch()) {
        display.sleep();
      }
    }
    display.dispose();

  }
}
