Find out what properties change since last input?

Hello guys,   I have a question about finding what properties changed with a different input.   For example: - I have a text box, and then if I input the invalid value, the text box turn red. -...

    Probably using an overlay or an underlay or something. I find that a lot with web based stuff. Not so much with desktop based.

     

    Something has certainly changed to red, you can see it. Just a matter of working out what. Have a look at direct parent & child objects maybe?

hi,

 

when you use the spy object, do you make it with the "invalid" value for the input box ? if so, you must have the value of red (I dont know, 255,0,0 ??), anyhow you must have the value in front of you. If the value doesn't change, then the property must not be the good one.

 

as already said, the dev team will give you the property of the object that will change.

 

could you make a screen shot of detailled properties and its values with the object spy, but with the "invalid values" state of the input ?

    255, 0, 0 is what I was using for my other check point rules.

    Somehow for this one certain area, the edit box change, but RGB did not.

    I will see if I can provide the screenshot

        Thank you very much Colin.

        It was Foreground color instead of borderbrush, which is weird.

        However, I was able to took your suggestion, and look from other direction.

        After that, I was able to find out the changes.

         

        Thank guys!
