Problem with focusIn and a substack
I have a field that when a user clicks on it a calendar picker stack appears to let the user click on a date. The field is locked to allow the mouseUp to work. The script below works fine when the user clicks on the field. The date is selected from the popup and put into the field. It is also possible for the user to tab into the field from the previous field so I added the focusIn handler. If I uncomment click at the loc of me the calendar stack shows up but when the user selects the date it doesn't go into the field. How do I get both to work? on mouseUp put SmallCalendar into tStackName put me into theDate put theDate into theOldDate convert theDate from short system date to short English date put getDate(theDate, tStackName) into theDate if theDate is theOldDate then exit to top if theDate is clear then put empty into me else convert theDate from short English date to short system date put theDate into me end if closeField end mouseUp on focusIn -- click at the loc of me end focusIn Bill Vlahos ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: Re: Problem with FocusIn
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. Devin 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.

Re: Problem with FocusIn
Hello Claus, I think you are right when wanting to use closeField. In the script of the card: local lChangedFlag -- local script variable on closeField put true into lChangedFlag -- will be set to true for any change in any field in the card end closeField on closeCard if lChangedFlag then save put false into lChangedFlag end closeCard Best regards from Paris, Eric Chatonet.

Re: Problem with FocusIn
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 Devin On Nov 5, 2007, at 3:55 AM, Claus Dreischer wrote: Hello Devin, i think i do want to use the closeField message :-) because i want to know when a field *has* changed.

Hi, on a side note: It's nice that some people are trying to improve the documentation (wiki, etc.), but on the other hand, there are people (me) who even can't read the existing documentaion =:-/ The solution to my problem is the closeField message, which is only sent when the content *has* changed.

What if you had found that information as a user comment? I'm optimistic that BvG and Josh Melliker's solution can come together to provide a great service for the Rev community.
