==== CHANGED event (OpenInsight Specific) ====

<QUOTE>
I've got a bunch of date fields - edit line controls.

Rather than use a default, I'd like the user to type something.  Thought it would be nice to type T for today.  Put the following on the CHANGED event:

declare function  set_property

IF newdata=T' THEN

	TODAY=set_property(CtrlEntid, "TEXT", OCONV(DATE(), 'D') )

END

Worked great!  So, did it to another edit control...no work???

in another form, put it on 3 controls, one worked???

CAn't see any difference.  Tried to trap with a MSG, and it appears as if the event is not executing.  Another symptom is a beep as each character is entered on the non working controls.  can enter part of a date say 12/3 and tab or enter, and 3 DEC 1998 comes up just fine on all of the controls.

Any ideas???  Thanks!  arcs@wws.net

<QUOTE>Paxton, 



If you look at the system monitor is it reporting any errors when you get the beep?

<QUOTE>Paxton,



I've had cases where I needed to do stuff while the user typed, and sometimes I had problems with [i]either[/i] CHANGED or CHAR. My memory fails me as to which of them. But perhaps you could try the CHAR event and see if you have more luck than with CHANGED?

<QUOTE>Scott,



Here is a bit of code that I use in date fields (this is the 'char' event.)



If the user enteres 'd' or 'D' it places the date .. if the user does '+' or '-' then the date increments/decrements.



Haven't had any problem with this in any field/screen i use.
