I want to fire code when the user changes the value of a textbox. I only want it to fire when the user is finished eding the TextBox and leaves (not after each keystroke). I am using the Validating event (the Leave even seems similar), but this is called even when the user does not make a change. Is there a simple way to handle this other than manually setting boolean flags for each keystroke?
I also find that the Validating event is begin called even when I do a 'CancelUpdate' to undo the changes - I do not want this to happen. Again, is there a simple solution? Didn't older version of VB have an IsDirty function? Is there something similar
Thanks

Just save the value of the textbox and compare it in the validating event.
Dim lastSaved As String = ""
Private Sub TextBox1_Valida ting(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.Componen tModel.CancelEv entArgs) Handles TextBox1.Valida ting
If TextBox1.Text <> lastSaved Then
'--- Fire your event---
'---------------------
'-- Save to current text
lastSaved = TextBox1.Text
End If
End Sub

Store the values you want to edit in a data layer (in variables, in an
object). If you leave a textbox, compare the value in the textbox to the
corresponding one in the data layer. You can validate it in the Validating
event, and, if ok, store the new value in the data layer.

Hi Denise,
In addition to the others,
Store on the "Enter" event and check on the "Leave" event.
For this you can make in my opinion a generic routine by adding the handlers
for this in a loop to all your textboxes.
When that is a problem, message back, then I can see if I can make a sample
for you.
I hope this helps?

Help me, I'm suffering!
Situation: I have a load() function which loads a bunch
of TextFields with values. There are TextListeners
registered for each of these TextFields. Thus, changing the
text in any of them fires off a TextEvent, even if done
programmatically (by means of setText()).
The problem: I need all the various TextEvents fired off
during the load operation (as a result of using TextField.setText())

How do I insert a char into the textfield on the keypress event of another textfield?
I have two textboxes, "text1" and "text2".
Important:
"text1" is outside the table.
"text2" is inside the table cell.
On the keydown/keypress/keyup event of "text1", the character which I entered in the "text1" must display in the textfield "text2".

Hi,
I'm trying to make a calculated text field in a query where the textvalue is
being populated from multiple records.
I already use a VBA function to loop through records and concatenate the
text. It works but the performance is really bad. I'm looking for a solution
in plane SQL, so the looping is done by joining tables. I can't get it to
work....

Hallo NG,
I am new to JavaScript and would really appreciate any help to solve my
problem.
I am using the blow code in my form to validate form fields. What I
would like to accomplish is that if when the list/menu (attribute6)
value is "Ja" then to make the TextField Pas Nr (attribute4)
required. And if when the list/menu (attribute6) value is "Nee" to
make the TextField Pas Nr (attribute4) not required.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
