Hi All Since my scripts were lost on the update app killer I wanted to try out a custom handler:
I wanted to try this out to see how it works for the first time. The original scripts (lost now) were using a field control to do the math between 3 to 4 fields. I used the suggested on closeField handler. It took some time but I had all of the fields doing the correct math. 1 Issue: on the card the different sets of field controls would only update within the set of fields in the script. If a user edited one of the fields that set would update. What I needed was to have all the fields update regardless of what set they below too. I assume that this can be done by passing the handler call up to the card level? My questions are as follow: 1. Can a custom handler work like "on doMath" and pass script to make it work from the card level? 2. The on doMath handler at the card level; can it include all of the different math scripts in that one handler so they all update at the same time from any field edited in the sets of fields needing updates. 3. Can I also include the field format command. 4. My consideration is that the fields were not updating as a complete group and that will confuse the user when they now need to re-enter the other fields to trigger the related changes from the other edits? Last concern: I was able to get the format to add the decimal places, but I needed to have the money symbol in the field also. When the typed in the field the math script won't run. The same thing happened when I used a comma for the divider of hundreds. So that kills the scripts. I did not find anything that tells you how to solve this? I tried the dictionary for answers but nothing was doing it!
