Unfortunately there is no direct way, since the NewTextEvent does not
give us location information. Brian's idea can work if text tends to
be unique enough not to cause false positives. You might also be able
to narrow it down by making sure the hwnd passed to the NewTextEvent
is the same as getFocus(). If you really want to be careful, you can
also check colors where the text is found on the current line (using
Brian's suggestion) against those passed to the NewTextEvent. That
might be a lot of work though, both for you and for the very busy
NewTextEvent.
Perhaps the best way, though more indirect, would be to have the
NewTextEvent keep a copy of the current line and its coordinates,
check these against the new current line and its coordinates on each
call, and decide that way whether this particular call is altering the
current line. Equal coordinates and unequal text mean yes. Unequal
coordinates mean no or we don't know. Equal coordinates and equal
text mean no for sure, or at least, if this event is for the current
line, it's just redrawing something that was already there.

Within the NewTextEvent function, check to see if the buffer string is
contained within the string returned by GetLine().
Is that what you had in mind?
