changed() for textfield only on exit?

Technical Q&A
1

changed() works for a textItem but it fires after each character change. Is there a way to suppress this so that it only executes on exit?

I’ve looked to override the editorExit() function to make a check instead but I don’t see a way how to get the old value to compare against. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Set changeOnKeypress:false to get less frequent change notifications.

Sorry, I forgot to mention this is for 6.5.1. I don’t seem to see that function defined anywhere.

It’s not a function. Go ahead and set it on the FormItem involved.

Ah, great. Thanks for that tip. Works perfectly.
