Display a conditional message on data change...

[Ian Branch 123]

Hi Team,

I want to display a conditional message on data change.

The condition tests a couple of fields in the record and if the test is True then a message is displayed.

I currently have relevant code in the Table DataChange event.

Unfortunately, the message is displayed on every occurrance when a record is selected past other records that the condition is true.  😞

How can I get this to work/show only when the the data changing has stopped and the selected record is visible to the User?

One suggestion would be to use a timer that is reset in OnDataChange. I've done something similar when implementing an incremental search, using the OnChange event of a TEdit for example.

Tks.  I added the functionality to the InChange of a Read-Only DBEdit on the Form and it works perfectly.
