Hi Claus,
I see that I misread your message, and that closeField was what you
needed. Very often in situations like yours I write both a closeField
and exitField handler so that I can account for all possible outcomes.
Sorry for misreading; hope I didn't add to the confusion. :-P

Hello Devin,
i think i do want to use the closeField message :-)
because i want to know when a field *has* changed.
Context:
The card has several fields like name, company, street, address, etc.
a save button, to buttons for up and down paging, a "new" button
and a "delete" button.
What i'd like to achive is to remember the user to save his changes,
when he changed a field and not saved it by pushing the "save" button.
So i need a flag like "some-fields-have-changed" to evaluate when
he is pressing the "up" or "down" button,
or when he's leaving the card.
Regards,
Claus.
Hello Claus,
...
The solution to my problem is the closeField message, which is only
sent when the content *has* changed.
What you want is the exitField message. It is sent when leaving the
field and the content has not changed.

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.
