I see that now.:) RTM, right?
I was thrown off by the use of "focus"
->
Sent to a field when the focus is being removed from that field and the field's content has changed.
<-
and the focus command. In my mind the user selects and types; the programer shifts focus. In fact the focus does change when the user selects a field. But also the focus can change without any user interaction.
In fact a put into the fld can stifle the closeField message. Make a card with two flds. In fld 1
on keyDown theKey if theKey is "r" then put " rule " after fld 1 exit keyDown else pass keyDown end if end keyDown
In the card's script trap the closeField message
on closeField beep end closeField
Now type 'dogsr<tab>' (where <tab> is the tab key).
No beep even though the user has clicked and typed in the field.
But you can type 'dogsrtheworld<tab>' and get a closeField to fire off.
I understand the compatibility problems with HyperCard and now in turn Revolution, but shouldn't there be a fieldTouched and/or fieldDirtied message?

Look at the second paragraph under the "Comments" section of Rev's docs on the closeField message.
They explicitly state that the "put" command does *not* trigger a closeField message (at least as of 2.5).

Compatibilty is extended to the documentation. Neither docs state that the message is sent only after user interaction.;)
Is there a message sent or property changed when the field is dirtied?

If I do this from a handler
select char 1 of fld 1
select char 2 of fld 2
an exitField message is sent from fld 1. But I cannot programatically select a fld, modify it, exit it and generate a closeField message.
What am I doing wrong? Is it possible? If not, why not?:)
CloseField is only sent after user editing, not after changes from a script. It may be due to historical reasons, to maintain compatibility with HyperCard which does the same thing.
