How to restrict SWT text field to a set amount of characters?

Is there a built-in method for stopping user input when a certain number of characters have been entered? I was looking for an alternative to VerifyListeners.

Do you mean that you want the input to your text field to be limited to a certain number of characters (at the same time)? In that case, you can use Text.setTextLimit() (see this answer).

Sure there is. Check this answers or perhaps this one that is not attaching an event handler (or at least, not directly) for key pressed.

Hope it helps!
