Check for certain field then do something

[Henry]

Hi there, now i want to do come script that will depend the position of the curson, just like i have 3 field a, b, c. Now i add in another cal field that chaecking the position of the cursor, if the cursor in field a, then return 1, if b then return 2 and c return 3. I use the status(currentfieldname) with case script. But it can't work automatically even i already set the cal field as unstored. It will work only i click the cal field then click another field. If i just using tab kay to go to next field, it will not calculate the result.

The other question is if i using tab key to go to next field, how to i made the field turn reverse color(highlight)the words if the field is not empty. Normal the we use tab then the cursor will go to the end of the words, now just want to change it as highlight.

Regards,

Henry

The Status(CurrentFieldName) function is not reliable. It only seems to work properly when you use it in a script.

So, is that got another solution?

I don't know of any way of getting a dynamic result based on where the cursor is without using a plug-in or a script.
