If you want to keep the graphic, then you need to Disable the graphic... Select the Pointer Tool, then double click on the graphic, then check the "Disabled" box in its Basic Properties palette.

Do not know if this is handy for some but I needed to save the field data as soon as the field was left by the user.
When a user left the field by clicking on another button the routine was not triggered so I combined the following and that works great for me.
In the main stack I placed a command called UpdateVarField with variable theFieldName. This command does everything I would like to do after a user leaves that field, of course you can do that different or even place a routine (command or function) local.
The idea is to use 'on exitField' and 'on closeField' both, that makes it work.
Maybe someone can use this...
Code: Select all
on exitField
put the name of me into tVar
replace quote with "@" in tVar
set itemdelimiter to "@"
put item 2 of tVar into theFieldName
UpdateVarField theFieldName
end ExitField
on closeField
put the name of me into tVar
replace quote with "@" in tVar
set itemdelimiter to "@"
put item 2 of tVar into theFieldName
UpdateVarField theFieldName
end closeField
