• MamboJoel editbox programmatic change

  I am looking for an easy way to determine if I've made interactive change in an editor box. The issue is that there are about 16 controls on a container, they are initialized from a table record thus their values at activate time generally are not trivial default. I have to save the changes with a SAVE button if I made any but I want this button's click method to quickly determine which control values have been changed. I do not want to do REPLA ...Show All

On the other hand, if I run it normally, when I lose the second form, the Treeview stops responding to the mouse, I.E it doesn't scroll or allow the user to click a node. I have no ...Show All
