Description

The EDITFIELD() function returns .T. if EDITFIELD is ON and .F. if EDITFIELD is OFF. If EDITFIELD is ON, when the user partially overwrites a field the entire field value is saved when the [RETURN] key is pressed, not just the user's input. When EDITFIELD is OFF, the default, the contents of the field up to the current cursor position are saved.

The EDITFIELD setting can be altered using the SET EDITFIELD ON | OFF command, or by using the optional <expL> in the EDITFIELD() function. The <expL> logical expression will SET EDITFIELD ON if .T. and SET EDITFIELD OFF if .F..

Example

lEditfield = editfield()
set editfield on
edit
editfield(lEditfield)
