I have just started playing around with fields that have "table"
behavior. I was planning on writing a little spreadsheet program.
However, it appears that the closeField message is not sent to the
field when its behavior is like a Table.
This can be demonstrated: create a new Table from the toolbox. Put
this in its script:
on closefield
answer "closefield was called"
end closefield
When the user edits a cell and then clicks on a different field, no
message is sent.
But when the "Cell Editing" property of the field is turned off, then
the message is sent as I expected.
I'd like to know when the data in the field changes. But if closefield
doesn't work (and exitfield is sent only when data is not changed)
then what do you use?
I don't know the answer, but here is a technique for finding out. Open
the Message Watcher from the Development menu, make sure the
Suppress... list is not suppressing handlers not handled. Then type in
a cell and click somewhere else and see if any messages are generated.
Cheers,
Sarah
