[Openroad-users] On properties question

[Bodo Bergmann]

The right-click (PROPERTIES event) doesn't change the input focus, so
the field value remains the same.
 
You can either use the EntryField's TextValue attribute, which already
contains the characters typed in,
or you force the update of the field's value from the visual
representation using the UpdValue() method, e.g.
 
ON PROPERTIES myentryfield =
{
    FIELD(myentryfield).UpdValue();
}

Subject: [Openroad-users] On properties question



I don't use 'on properties'  very frequently and have never come across
this behaviour before. 

I have noticed if I type some characters into a field and right click;
the value of the field is not the characters I have just typed but the
previous value of the field. 
Moving to another field  or clicking a button 'fixes' the value.   

Is there a way of 'fixing' the value after right clicking? 

I should have paid more attention in the OR courses !!! 

thanks Allan
