Event triggered by pasting data into a field

[bbalmerTotalFluency]

Good morning.

Is there one? An event triggered by pasting data into a field? I know we have textChanged but that does not appear to be triggered by pasting.

I'd like something to happen automatically on data being pasted into a field? Possible? If not possible, any smooth ways around it? I don't want the user to have to do something complicated or have to move the mouse out of the field to trigger the action (if possible).

Thanks

Good Morning,
TextChanged works here (OSX 12.7.4, LC 9.66).
No tested as standalone.
Best regards

Thanks for the reply. Well, I was expecting textChanged to work and it appeared not to have. But fortified by your resolute assurance of success, I tried again and this time it worked. I have NO explanation for why it did not work for me earlier. Human error being the most likely explanation.

You could also catch the "pastekey" message.
However this will only work in a standalone, the IDE will just "eat" this message.

Were I a university I would give you an honorary degree in all things livecode.

I saw pasteKey. I wondered if it would work. Tried it. It did not work. I did not know it was standalone only. That explains it.

It's an education chatting with you guys.

Thanks
