Hi,

I looking for an "on Changed" field event, to do an action when the field value change.

Any idea to do this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi sglito,

I looking for an "on Changed" field event, to do an action when the field value change.

You need to trap the "closefield" message ideally in the script of htat field(s), check the dictionary for more info!

From the docs:
"Sent to a field when the focus is being removed from that field and the field's content has changed."
So this might be what you are looking for.

Thanks Klaus,

I need to trap when the field change in any character (without lost field focus). It's for a dynamic list search depends of a field value, for example in a client list when I type "J" display all names begining with "J", when I type more characters the list is filtered for each one, finaly if the field value is "JAMES" then list show all the client names begining with "JAMES".

Regards.

Hi sgilito,

I think you need something like that (no iPad tested)

Code: Select all

on keydown pKey
   put pKey after fld "fType"
   put fld "fList" into tCont
   put fld "fType"&"*" into tFilter
   filter tCont with tFilter
   put tCont into fld "fFound"
end keydown

Best regards

Nice sgilito,
So how do we go about refreshing the fFound field when the user uses the back space key or delete key because he misspelled a word? The delete key doesn't trigger the keydown pkey script. I played around but didn't find the right script for that part of it. Your script worked well other than that. Nice thread although it may have to be moved it oesn't seem to relate to the title "detect touch 2 Controls.

Hi

Yes. rawkeydown is the way

Code: Select all

on rawkeydown pRawKey
   put pRawKey
end rawkeydown

Nice thread although it may have to be moved it oesn't seem to relate to the title "detect touch 2 Controls

Yes.

Cool so yes that helped. Here is the script that makes for a pretty nice "auto populate" field when filtering based on a second hidden field of values.

on Keydown pKey
   put pKey after fld "fType"
   put fld "fList" into tCont
   put fld "fType"&"*" into tFilter
   filter tCont with tFilter
   put tCont into fld "fFound"
end Keydown

on rawKeyUp theKeyNumber
if theKeyNumber is 65288 then ## the delete key is being pressed
 put fld "fList" into tCont
   put fld "fType"&"*" into tFilter
   filter tCont with tFilter
   put tCont into fld "fFound"
else pass rawKeyUp -- don't forget this!
end rawKeyUp
