In my application there is a main form with a tabcontrol. On each page in
the tabcontrol is a panel upon which is painted a "sub" form. The main form
acts as the "applicatio n host", while the subforms are where data values
contained in underlying tables are displayed, inserted, updated or deleted.
I don't make the user press an "Edit" button to enable the textboxes on the
subforms. Rather, the subforms and their textboxes are always in edit mode.
However, the user must remember to press the Update, Insert or Delete button
to make any changes keyed into the subform affect the underlying database.
Simple enough, but not completely foolproof given inept or careless users.
Therefore, I would like to implement a reminder process using a dialog box.
So that, when the user makes a change to any "data-enabled" control
(textbox, checkbox, combobox, etc), a form-level boolean variable becomes
"dirty". This code I have written and tested ok.
My problem is in detecting when the user has decided to move off the "dirty"
form. I thought that I could detect this action in code placed in the
form_LostFocus event. Problem is, the code is in the LostFocus event, but
the event is not being fired. Is this normal? Is there another way to
detect moving off a form?
Thanks in advance,
Dean Slindee

Do you actually have a form residing inside a panel on a tab control?
Have you tried using the Panel.LostFocus event? If it is actually a
form, look at using the Deactivate event.
How do you "paint a "sub" form"?

I am trying to clean up some polish bugs with the Shanghai game I am
working on and I am currently stuck on trying to get the right event
for detecting when the user has changed the desktop resolution.
I have tried trapping the following events:
1) SDL_ACTIVEEVENT
2) SDL_VIDEOEXPOSE

I need to know when the select element's dropdown list is opened (as
when the user clicks on the arrow or does ALT-downarrow from the
keyboard). Similarly, I need to known when the dropdown list closes.
The closing of the dropdown list can happen without changing the
dropdown, hence the onchange event is not a sure way to determine that
the dropdown list closed.
Is this possible in Internet Explorer?

Hi,
My question is this : how do I detect from
another window which didn't create a new window whether
it exists ? For example, is there a window-id's container
of some sort that hangs around that I can interrogate ?
I would like to find a better way of doing the following.
I have a window (call it Win) that creates a new window (call it Win2)
using window.open().

Hi, I have an asp.net 1.1 application that populates data from a
database. When the user changes data, they have to hit a button to
update the data. The data entry form (same form that is populated) is
from several different tables. To the user, of course, this is not
seen.
Scenario: After the page is populated, assume a change is made to the
form and the user hits update. The page then goes back, reads the
database for that record...

We have a little piece of JavaScript in one of our client's application

This works very nicely, except for in one circumstance. If the user is

another page, and then clicks the Back button to return to the edit page,
the focus is again reset to the first field on the page. Under this...

Hi All,
In AccessXP I have a form, it has a form header, detail and footer
sections. When done entering text in a txtbox(bxReqst) in the footer
the user wants to press the Tab key and have the focus move to a
control called bxQues in the Detail section.
From the control in the footer how do I detect when a Tab key is
pressed and set the focus to the control(bxQues) in the detail
section?
thanks

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.
