When the user enters info into the first edit box and then tabs to the next edit box I want to know that something is in that first edit box and use it to load in some other info. Right now, I have the user press return and I can determine if they have only entered info into the first box. But I want it to be so they just hit tab or click somewhere else. How do I have the edit window alert my Dialog Box window function when it has gained or lost the input focus? I know there exist messages that have this info in one of the Params but I can't figure out how to access the edit control message from the dialog box function. Thanx for any help!!!
