[Pythoncard-users] Overriding event delivery

[Steve F. <sf...@ih...>]

Hi,

I've got to put together a number of pages with a lot of text fields,
the contents of which need to be saved as soon as they're changed, and
I'd like to avoid writing a lot of boilerplate
on_textFieldName_loseFocus() events.

So I'd like to modify the event dispatch so that whenever a text field
loses focus, PythonCard will call a single, particular function within
the page's object with that event, such as
handleAllTextFieldsLosingFocus(self, event). Then at that point I can
inspect the field using event.target and do my saving.

Is there a better way of doing this then mucking around with the event
dispatch system? Otherwise I'd guess subclassing Scriptable is probably
the right direction?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Steve
