CHANGED event

Occurs when a user has taken an action that might have altered text.

bforward = CHANGED(ctrlentID, ctrlclassID, newdata)

CHANGED accepts arguments for the following parameters.

ParameterDescription
ctrlentIDHas the format WindowName.ControlName, where WindowName is the identifier of the window that contains the affected control, and ControlName is the identifier of the control. Notice that a period separates the two values.
ctrlclassIDThe type of control that recognizes the event. Valid entries are:

Type - Description
COMBOBOX - Combo box.
EDITBOX - Edit box.
EDITFIELD - Edit line.
EDITTABLE - Edit table.
LISTBOX - List box.
newdataThe changed data.

True or false. If false, the program execution returns to the calling procedure. If true, the event processing goes to the next level.

For a LISTBOX or a COMBOBOX control, the CHANGED event occurs when an item in the list is selected or when the selection changes.
