This is so much simpler than what I proposed! Thanks Ken.

Hi,
I asked about this problem ages ago, but didn't get a response, so
I'm asking again as it's just come up again!
I am running on a Mac. If the user fills in a field and then tabs out
of the field, either a closeField or exitField message is sent to the
field. All well and good. However, if the user clicks on a button,
nether messages are sent!
This effectively means that it\s impossible to ensure that a field is
valid using these messages, so what's the use of having them or am I
missing something.
The messages are useful, you just need to manually trigger them on
MacOS - the easiest way (IMHO) is to issue "select empty" on a
mouseDown. If you're not trapping mouseDown anywhere this can go in the
card/stack script:
on mouseDown
select empty
pass mouseDown
end mouseDown
If you *do* trap mouseDown, you can set up a frontscript that does the
same thing. Create an object (say, a button), and give it a name (like
"FS") and give it the script above. Then at some point prior to the
user being able to enter data, execute:
insert script of btn "FS" into front
Doing a "select empty" forces the cursor out of the field and should
trigger an exitField or closeField depending on whether the contents
have changed or not.
