Detect when a field changes

[AndyP]

Hi Bill,

Thought this was odd so made a little test stack... and yes you are right
and focus has no effect.

Now it seems that the textChanged meassage is only sent when Typing in a
field has happened and not when the contents of the field actualy change!

There is a way around the problem. I'm assuming you using a put to get your
contents into the field.

Try using the Type command instead. This simulates physical typing in the
field.

You can do something like this;


select after fld "MyField"
set the typingRate to 0 // no delay
Type "MyStuffHere" // instaed of put
