Hi, Colin,
We normally try not to talk "dirty?" on the list.
;-)
Here is an extension that more graphically show some of what is going
on:
update-text: does [
mytext1/text: rejoin [mydata1/text " " mydata1/dirty?]
mytext2/text: rejoin [mydata2/text " " mydata2/dirty?]
show [mytext1 mytext2]
]
lo: layout [
mydata1: field "Field 1" [update-text]
mytext1: txt 100
mydata2: field "Field 2" [update-text]
mytext2: txt 100
do [update-text]
]
view lo
So, it appears as though your assumption about dirty? changing to true
on a change is correct (did that make sense??). You will notice that
pressing return and tab leave the dirty? flag in a different state in
the other faces than when you use the mouse to click.
Hope this illucidates the dirty? -talk phenomenon.
