we use a modal keypad if its a mandatory number to enter.

Subject: Control update
In a vi, the user clicks in a numerical control and enters a number.
He forgets to hit Enter or click away, so key focus is still on the
control and the value is not available at the terminal yet. Now the
user exits the vi via a menu selection, thinking he has properly
entered the value. How do I get the new value of the control that the
user thinks he entered but didn't update?
I can programmatically pull key focus off the control, and then read
it again through a local variable, but what a nuisance. I am sure
there must be a better way to protect against this error.
