Re: OnKillfocus event eats OnClick event

Greetings!

An application I am trying to debug has several edit boxes and a Save
button. One of the edit boxes displays a name retrieved from a
database. That edit box has an OnKillfocus event that checks to see
if the user has changed the box's contents. If so, then the other
edit boxes are initialized from the database. If not, the user is
asked if he wants to create a new object.

If the user wants to create a new object with the same properties as
the current object, he would enter a new name and then click Save.
The OnKillfocus event of the edit box fires, correctly asking the user
if he wants to create a new object. The user clicks "Yes". Nothing
else happens. The Save button's OnClick event is never fired. I
tried removing the OnKillfocus event, and saw that the OnClick event
was fired as expected.

So, how do I get the OnClick event to fire?

The only workaround I can think of is to make sure the Save button
isn't included in the tab order and then fire its Click event
programmatically when it gets focus. The user would click on the Save
button, the OnKillfocus event would fire, and then the OnSetfocus
event would fire. I think. But I seem to remember reading someplace
that that sequence actually happens in the other order, with
OnSetfocus firing first and then OnKillfocus. If so, that idea won't
work either. There's got to be a better way.

Thanks very much!
