Hi Wim, I'm aware that the concept of an edit transction makes sense for the graphical mode only where the user has some sort of "edit session". But at least in that case I think there should be such a concept and the API should provide a possibility to hook into it.
By the way, I wonder whether both a programmer and the user actually expects that the value of the widget gets changed already before she presses Enter or clicks the green hook. Best, MP Am Mo., 15.
