Again, isn't that what I said? Or rather the converse, that it can't be done
using objc_edit? My approach is to have a callback for the textfield that
gets activated whenever a character is pressed. The user can then do whatever
verification he wants in that routine and return one of a set of values to
indicate whether the key should be displayed or ignored, or whether it has
a special function. You can of course do things other than verification in
the callback routine - you want a second textfield echoing the input in german
as its typed in english - you got it! ;-)

No, it wasn't hard.
