 |
|
Is it possible to generate an event when the contents of an Edit box change, or when something is first typed into it, ie. an initial character?
I know the Edit box has an Exit event, but that is too late for what I want to do.
Regards.

If the edit box is small, you can record it's contents and check for changes in a timer loop. If it's larger (such as an editor) you can check the modified status with sendmsg (also in a timer loop):
| Code: |
rem -- Check if document has been modified --
if @zero(@sendmsg(@winexists(~Edit1),$0B8,0,0))
%m = ""
else
%m = Modified
end
|
If anyone's interested, here's some code for a VDS text editor:
