check the field locking. from the docs:
If the control is an unlocked field or a button whose menuMode is "comboBox", the openField message is sent to it instead of the focusIn message.
A locked field receives the focusIn message when the user tabs to it or otherwise makes it active (focused), or when text in it is selected by a handler.
Hi, i have problems with the focusIn message. What i want to achive is to remember the value of a field when the user is editing it (on focusIn). After that (on focusOut), i would like to check the new value against the remembered one. If they are different, the change has to be saved, so i ask the user to do so when he's leaving the card. I think the focusIn message is not sent because even something like on focusIn beep end focusIn does not work. Even the example in the dictionary is not working. Obviously i am missing something here. Any ideas? Regards, Claus. BTW: It's 2.9.0 dp1 on a Win2k box -- http://www.danasoft.com/sig/dsagsdg.jpg _______________________________________________
