pq12289.txt WHEN AN MLE LOSES FOCUS, THE #OBJECT EVENT IS TRIGGERED EVEN IF THE VALUE IS UNCHANGED On a window drop an mle and a text field. Drop a prompter on the free-form surface. Connect the mle's #object to the #prompt of the prompter. Test the part. When you tab out of the mle (without entering any data), the prompter will fire. Workaround: Create an instance variable, say origValue, and on the mle's #gettingFocus set origValue to the value of the mle. On the mle's #losingFocus compare the current value of the mle to the instance variable.
