Data Entry + Trigger
Hello, Shaun! Thanks for the quick reply.
What does "Control loses focus" mean? I see those words associated with the Text Entry and assume it has something to do with there being some type of activity on the user's side (entering text perhaps), but what does it literally mean? What's the "control"? What does it mean when it "loses focus"? I tried this trigger and wasn't that impressed; there seemed to be a lag of some sort.
Based on your response I tried a couple triggers; one of them didn't work (Variable changes) and the other one (control loses focuses) had a weird lag.
Finally, I created a Submit button and set up my trigger panel like this:
And that works swimmingly! Thanks!
Glad you got it working! My understanding of 'control loses focus' is that the user stops interacting with the object and interacts with another part of the screen... so in this case if you simply stop typing in the text entry field nothing will happen, but if you click the submit button (or something else on the screen) then that counts as focus being lost (from the object).
Clear as mud?! That's my understanding of it - though someone more experienced than me might be able to provide a better explanation.
