Remarks

Use this method to check whether or not the user changed the value of a particular dialog box item:

  • Did the user enter text in a text box?
  • Did the user select a value in a selection box?
  • Did the user specify a date/time in a calendar item?
  • ...
note

For a .WasOnChange to work, you have to put .WantsOnChange to true. See the example.
