Sir,
how do i check if the text in the item has changed. i.e. suppose i am typing in this editor, the moment i type a character is there some trigger that will fire on the addition of a new character. this trigger should fire each time when i type a character in the editor/text-item, similar to when-text-changed trigger in VB.
thanks
vinod

Hey Vinod,
Could you get this problem solved ?
I am also facing similar kind of problem. There is a control item in a data lock that should behave like a database item to the end user.
As soon as we try to edit a data item, the save button gets enabled....as it detects changes that need to be posted. Similarly,I want to capture the editing of the control item also.
So..I guess again the question is which trigger fires when we type into a text item?
Shikha.

Do you REALLY need to test the field character by character? If you can wait until the user has finished keying and then tries to leace the field, you can use the standard When-Validate-Item trigger and turn the save button on by manually setting the record status to 'changed'.
