Hi Ken,
This took me by surprise so I just did a test. Pasted text into a field
then clicked on another field on the card and I did get a closeField, so
maybe this was a bug that has been fixed? LC 4.6.3/OS X 10.6.8

I guess that works but it means the button script will execute before the
focus on nothing in the card script which could be an issue, depending on
the application requirements.

How about inserting the mouseUp handler into the frontScript. That should run

Create a button called btnFrontScript

I have a text field (unlocked) that the user can edit, but I want to know when
and to deal with the changes.
Here is what I have come up with, something of a kludge. Is there a cleaner way?

set the textChange of me to false
end mouseEnter
on rawkeydown tKey
Sorry to say Jim, but I had the same problem on my hands last year and ended
up doing pretty much as you have done, but I never asked the list for help, so
I'll be interested in seeing where this leads. (smile)

yes. on closeField. However be aware that clicking a button before tabbing out
of the field will NOT send a closeField to an edited field. Someone sent me a
workaround for that, but I cannot find it right now. I am sure it is in the
archives. Note that exitField is sent when a field loses

Hi James,
In addition to my previous field script, for your button:

I'd just use closefield myself. The bug with the buttons was a
In the button script you could put select empty in the first line. That
should cause the field's closeField handler to fire before the rest of the

James,
The button click/closeField problem happens because, on OS X anyway, the
filed doesn;t lose focus when you click on the button (you'll see the cursor
is still in it). Put focus on nothing at the top of your button's
mouseDown handler. That removes focus from the field thus causing the
Actually, the workaround I was thinking of trapped mouseUp in the card or stack
handler, then used the command focus on nothing. This will force the loss of
focus by the field thereby forcing a closeField to be sent to the field that
lost the focus.
This way you can use closeField in fields,

Thanks all. Problem solved.
The closeField is triggered only when the field is changed and the focus is
changed to something outside the field.
The only problem is when the next selection is a button (on the Mac at least)
the focus remains in the field.

Yeah. I misspoke. It's auto-hilite that matters. But then you have to
write your own hiliting handlers, so the focus solution is much
