It's necessary to press enter to make the changes take effect. Just clicking into another field without pressing enter will still leave the new value in place, but nothing happens. |
 |
I think that's the common convention for all editor tools. Changing it would require going through all the edit boxes in all tools and do some nontrivial refactoring. |
|
|
I think refactoring is not even possible. Right now every GUI widget has one callback. For edit boxes it is the ON_EN_CHANGE callback. In order to apply changes on loosing focus, one has to add ON_EN_KILLFOCUS callback on every edit box, along with appropriate callback. |

Wouldn't it be OK to change background color of an editbox when user changes something in it? And reset it back to normal when changes are applied. |

That's a shame (I suppose applying changes when gaining focus is out of the question too). A colour change would be helpful to indicate that the changes haven't been applied yet, though this may be mostly for the benefit of new users who haven't gotten into the habit yet of pressing enter after each change. |

To be honest this is just a small point that can easily be worked around by just pressing enter after typing something, and it seems the ideal solution (update when focus changes) isn't doable. Feel free to close this, in particular if it's menial labour to add colour changes to all the edit boxes. |
