I've created a few controls in my forms library , combobox, spinner, editbox, textbox which I have added the property INITIALVALUE and a Method CHANGED.

In the Init of the control I placed the line:

this.initialvalue=this.value

In the Changed method I placed the line:

return (this.initalvalue<>this.value)


This allows me to evaluate whether or not a control has changed easily, without data access. My problem is, if the control is not bound to a control source, and I revert/cancel operation, the tablerevert handles the data end fine, but the controls not bound to any data are left in their changed state. Now, when I check the changed() method, it reports back TRUE, because the Init method is not evaluated again. Is there an easier method to check if any given controls state has changed since initialization without going to the extremes I have? If not, is there an easy way to globally set all my initialvalue properties = the value property?

The Setall() method works great for properties, but I need a way to invoke any predefined method in the same manner. Such as:

Setall('Initialvalue',this.value,cClass)

Of course this doesn't work since this.value will report back the current objects value if available, ....... any Ideas?
