Can I prevent the Save/Cancel dialog?

When you define a layout to not autosave data, if the user clicks outside a field they get a dialog box asking them to Save/Cancel/Discard. I want to prevent that dialog and trap it so I can put up a custom dialog or force them to hit my Save/Cancel button. Is that possible?

There are probably other ways, but here's something to try.

Create a new field, with global storage.

Put this field onto the layout with a transparent fill. Send this field to the back behind all of the other fields.

Size this field so that it covers all of the area on the background of the layout.

Attach an "On Object Enter" script trigger to this field. The triggered script only has one script step: Go to Field[].
