Data Validation of copied Data in a field

[Bob Sneidar]

Are you saying that the closefield is not triggered when you leave the field after pasting text??? Very odd! You can use the textChanged message, but that will get triggered every time someone types text. That would be very hard to work with, timing loops and all. 

Try setting a breakpoint in your closeField handler then pasting text into the field. I have a hard time believing closeField is not being triggered.
