Unsaved changes Popup

Posted on by Community Power Pla...

I have a label that is visible (unsaved changes warning) when changes are made to text box. Popup works fine, but if I delete the changes I have made in a text box, the warning popup stays visible. Is it possible to detect if contents of a textbox was set back in the original state?

Label.visible = NeedsSaved3

TextBox.OnChange = Set(NeedsSaved3, true)

Button that saves changes, OnSelect= Set(NeedsSaved3, false)

What is the Default property of the Textbox?

Typically this is done with a comparison rather than a variable.

i.e. the Visible property of your Label - theDefaultPropertyValue <> theTextBox.Text

This will set the label visible if the value is changed.

I hope this is helpful for you.

In the OnChange for the text box, If Self.Text is Blank, Set(NeedsSaved3, false).

Add on another IF in the OnChange, if Self.Text = ThisItem.Description, Set(NeedsSaved3,false)

This works.
But if I put this on multiple text boxes, and I change 2 of them, and then change only 1 to the original text, warning goes away, even if the second textbox is still left changed.

My code for OnChange on textbox is now like this:

Set(NeedsSaved3, true); If( Self.Text = ThisItem.Description, Set(NeedsSaved3,false))

You need to compare on the original value to the textbox value. Variables will be a bit clunky to deal with as you are seeing.

Out of curiosity, is this in an EditForm? If so, then the form already provides a mechanism for this.

In that case you'll have to check all of them.
If ( Self.Text = ThisItem.Description || OtherTextBox.Text = xxx || etc. etc., Set(NeedsSaved3, false))
Depending on how many you are dealing with there could be a more elegant solution.

@RandyHayes you referring to the Form.Unsaved flag? Will it show unsaved if the text has been changed but ultimately changed back to what it was originally or not show the unsaved flag if it matches?

@Rivius

Yes, the unsaved will be true if there are changes. If a user returns a value to its original value, the unsaved will be false.

Good to know, I worked with the unsaved flag a couple years ago but it wasn't functioning correctly. I'll have to add that back to my tool belt.
