Data Validation of copied Data in a field

[Hillen Richard]

Thank you for your quick and helpfull response:

To Craig Newman: 
- textChanged is sent after each typed character; DataValidation should start after the end of Typing; so it needs extra coding :-(
- Hint re "pasteKey trapped by IDE" will help. 

To Bob Sneidar:
- The CloseFiled msg is sent after pressing return, tab or…
-> press return after pasting data or use pasteKey-msg! I´ll try!


Richard.

> 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.
