Description
Occurs just before a control loses focus (after it becomes inactive).
PowerBuilder event information
Event ID: pbm_dwnkillfocus
Return Values
There are no special outcomes for this event. The only code is:
0 -- Continue processing
Usage
Write code for a control's LoseFocus event if you want some processing to occur when the user changes focus to another control.
PowerBuilder programming note
Because the MessageBox function grabs focus, you should not use it when focus is changing, such as in a LoseFocus event. Instead, you might display a message in the window's title or a MultiLineEdit.
When to call AcceptText
You should not call AcceptText in the LoseFocus event or from a user event posted from LoseFocus, unless the DataWindow control no longer has focus. For information about the right way to call AcceptText when the DataWindow control loses focus, see the AcceptText method.
