Handler:
on closeField statementsend closeField
HyperCard sends the closeField message to an unlocked field when, after editing, a user (or handler) performs an action that closes (that is, removes the insertion point from) the field. HyperCard sends closeField only when the text actually changes.
The following actions close a field, saving any changes that were made to the text:
- Clicking outside the field
- Moving the insertion point to the next field with the Tab key
- Pressing the Enter key
- Pressing Command-Shift-Z to revert the field to the last saved version
- Going to another card
- Quitting HyperCard
