• Any keyboard entry made by the user; in this case, the On After Edit event is generated after the On Before Keystroke and On After Keystroke events, if they are used.

Example

Here is an example handling an On After Edit event:

 If(FORM Event.code=On After Edit)
    If(FORM Event.action="valueChanged")
       ALERT("WARNING: You are currently changing the value\  
       from "+String(FORM Event.oldValue)+\  
       " to "+String(FORM Event.newValue)+"!")

 End if
    End if
 End if

The above example could generate an event object like this:

{

"code":45;
"description":"On After Edit";
"objectName":"ViewProArea"
"sheetname":"Sheet1";
"action":"valueChanged";
"range": {area:ViewProArea,ranges:[{column:1,row:2,sheet:1}]};
"oldValue":"The quick brown fox";
"newValue":"jumped over the lazy dog";
}
