You just need to change to:
y = self~connectEditEvent("IDC_DECNUM1","GOTFOCUS",yyyy)
x = self~connectEditEvent("IDC_DECNUM1","LOSTFOCUS",xxxx)
The connectNotifyEvent() connects a generic event. In general, I'd
say it is less predictable to know if you will get the generic event
notification unless you understand all the nuances of how the
underlying controls work.
In order to capture a notification, the notification has to be sent to
the dialog. Almost all of the notifications we are concerned about in
ooDialog are sent by a dialog control to its parent.
In this case, the edit control sends the got and lost focus
notifications to its parent. There is no generic message generated.
In general, if an individual control is listed as having an event, the
generic event message is not going to be generated for that event.
By the way, I just looked and in the latest ooDialog doc, for the
connectNotifyEvent() I pretty much spell that out.
I'm not saying that to discourage questions here, please ask any and
all questions. It is the only way to get things about ooDialog
cleared up. My point is, that 2 or 3 years ago the above information
was not to be found in the ooDialog doc, and a lot of the doc was
misleading. That may have discouraged people from going to the doc to
get help with understanding how to use ooDialog. But, in the current
doc I've gone a long way to try and clarify how things work.
