Hi.
Not sure, then, what you want. The docs do seem to be wrong in that when focus leaves the field, a closefield message is sent after a paste. And the "textChanged" message is sent immediately when text is pasted. What specific behavior are you trying to achieve?

According to a comment in the Dictionary, [email protected] 2010-12-12 at 11:35:09 Note that if you paste text into a field, the closeField message is not sent after the focus leaves the field, ie, the field is not flagged as having had its contents changed. The "paste" command appears to be equivalent to "put the clipboarddata["text"] into the selection." Hmm, and I just put traps for closeField and exitField and pasted then tabbed. It seems that the comment is wrong . . . > In any case, you can always trap "textChange". But that would be synchronous. When someone pastes in, he's likely to add more himself before leaving the field. -- Dr. Richard E. Hawkins, Esq.
