Any way other than using a scriptjob to run a procedure whenever a textField is changed? ive tried changeCommand (-cc) and it only runs if the field has changed AND the user hits enter, which is not the desired result. Any help would be great.

is that textField just a regular field in which you store/read some values ? or is it controling an attribute ? or is it controled by an attribute ?

It's just a regular textField, in which the user types. I want to have 3 textFields that get added together and placed into a 4th textField so whenever the user types in one of the first 3, the 4th on shows all 3 added together.

i think your best bet will be to use a scriptJob attached to your UI, i can`t think of anything else right now ... :eek:

Alrighty, thanks for the help. I was hoping not to have to use a scriptjob but it looks like ill end up doing that... Ill just be real carefull to have it clean up after itself.

that`s what i was saying ... attach it to a piece of UI (eg. your window) and it will be automatically deleted when you close the window


P.S.
check the -parent flag on the scriptJob command :buttrock:
