case keyDownEvent:
pOurField = (FieldPtr) GetObjectPtr(OurEditField);
handled = FldHandleEvent(pOurField,eventP);
if(FieldDirty(pOurField);
{
// Do whatever we need to see that this field has changed
}
break;
return handled;
if you have more than one field to track you will need to also trap on
fldEnterEvent and keep track of which field you are entering text into.
