We are trying to get a handle on the users input into excel (yes while in
edit mode). We can trap the 'key-up' events for the EXCEL6 window but we
can't get the whole word for this window. We have used SPY++ and Winspector
to try and figure out where this text is but without luck.

We are trying to do a sort of 'type ahead' filtering in our custom
application so knowing the 'current' value in the cell is most important.

Has anyone been able to get this value? Is this value stored in a textbox?
or some other window? Just can't figure this one out...
