I take it from the response there are no Exit or Lost focus events for
fields. If so, merely trapping other fields does not suffice. I would have
to trap for all selectable objects, then test for
IsEqualToCurrentScanFieldId. This is a lot of programming overhead for
every form with multiple objects. What if on a global or application level,
I trap all PenDownEvents and test for:
<pseudo code>
if InScanMode && CurrentScanningFieldId !=0
{
UInt16 FocusedObjId = GetFocusByObjId();
if (CurrentScanningFieldId!=FocusedObjId)
{
PostFieldLostFocusEvent(CurrentScanningForm,CurrentScanningFieldId );
}
}
Between the pseudo code example & trapping FormClose, would this be viable?
Thanks for your help!
