Does dispatchEvent allow me to throw an event on the object's queue to be
processed after the current chain of events completes?

I am creating a spelling program.  As each character is typed into a
JTextField, I am giving an audible signal as to whether the letter matches
the next letter in the word.  I am doing this in the keyTyped event handler.
From the keyTyped event handler I want to tell another event to do the check
on the complete word to see if it is spelled correctly.  Within the keyTyped
event handler jTextField1.getText() does not include the character that was
just typed.  I can get the complete value by doing the following
jTextField1.getText() + e.getKeyChar().

Is there an event that I can add a handler for where jTextField1.getText()
will return the complete value including the character just type or can I
use dispatchEvent to cause another event to be fired?

I have tried dispatching an ACTION_EVENT in the keyTyped event handler in
the following manner:

jTextField1.dispatchEvent( new ActionEvent( this, Event.ACTION_EVENT,
"" ) );

I added an event handler for this but it was never executed.

Any help would be appreciated.
