The TextOperationEvent class represents events that are dispatched when text content changes due to user operations such as inserting characters, backspacing, pasting, or changing text attributes.

This event is dispatched by subclasses of the SkinnableTextBase class. This includes RichEditableText and classes that use RichEditableText such as ComboBox and TextInput, as well as TextArea. Text controls that have no user interaction, such as RichText and Label, do not dispatch events of this type.
