Control - Modified Property

Hi folks,

When programatically initialising an edit control with a value which is different from the value
already in the edit control I assumed the Modified property would be set to true, unfortunatley is does'nt happen anyone know why, and how I could rectify this.

Hi Mark...

first the logic behind that...

The ..modified property is there to let you know when the USER modified a field... Here YOU are modifying it, so you are supposed to know about it :-)

Now, If you suffer from amnesia :-) , you can of course set the ..modified property to true yourself by adding in the same code where you modify the control:
MyControlName..Modified=true

Of course, you can also use your own flag, and this way you'll know if the user or yourself modified it

Hi Fabrice,

Thank you very much for your reply.

I had tried initialising the "control..modified=true" but was not getting the result I expected, however when revisiting the problem, I realised that I was doing it in the wrong place!
Woops! Once a gain thanks for your interest.
