I've had a similar/relate question that I've been curious about for some time. This emits a signal evertime the contents is changed. Unfortunately, taking action everytime it is changed may not be what is desired. What may be desired is when the changes are done. Suppose the entry contained a value like 9.8 and someone wants to change the value to 12.2. This might be done my backspacing, deleting all the characters and then entering 12.2. But the changed signal is emitted after every character. So that you would be acting on the value 9., 9, " ", 1, 12, 12., and finally 12.2. Some values could be undesirable. Plus the update could take a time to perform. Is there another type of signal that could be used to know when it done. My current method is to act upon an activate signal which is sent when a <RETURN> is entered. Is there another more appropriate method?
