Problem: The spinner UpClick, DownClick and InteactiveChange does not seem to affect the underlying controlsource until the control looses the focus, that is the valid event fires.

So, a method that would run through the open views or dbf's and try to determine whether any changes have been made to the data by using GetNextModified(0) does not work.

Having tried a number of approaches, including a Keyboard {'Tab'} to force the Valid event to fire (didn't), I then turned to RaiseEvent.

The help says:

You can use RAISEEVENT() to raise, or trigger, an event from a custom method. Though RAISEEVENT() applies primarily to custom methods, you can use it for raising native events and methods.

So I tried RaiseEvent and BindEvent, both with no luck.

Spinner.UpClick method: RAISEEVENT(This,'Valid')

Or-

Spinner.Init method:
BINDEVENT(This,"Valid",This,"UpClick")

or

BINDEVENT(This,"Valid",This,"UpClick",1)

Have I got it backwards, or is this just not possible?

If not, what can I do to solve my problem?

TIA
