Difference between 'Ok' and 'Apply'

[piotrek84]

Dear All,
Is there any way for detecting if the user clicked 'Ok' or 'Apply' on an element properties window (the one that appears when you double click the element)? I'm using EA_OnNotifyContextItemModified event to detect when element has changed but it responds in the same way both to 'Apply' and 'Ok'.
Effectively what happends is that when I first apply the changes my add-in is run and then it is run again after cliking 'Ok' even though no changes were made between clicking 'Apply' and 'Ok'.
Any ideas?

Thanks in advance
Peter

Hi Peter,

If there were NO changes between clicking Apply and OK, then the event should NOT trigger.  The Context Item was not modified.

If you open the item and then immediately click OK, does the event trigger?  Again, it shouldn't.

I've observed, in general, EA sometimes has difficulty figuring out if things are dirty and whether other things should be updated as a consequence.  This might just be another manifestation of the more general problem.

I'd formally report it.

HTH,
Paolo

Solved the problem using both EA_OnContextItemDoubleClicked, EA_OnNotifyContextItemModified events and a static variable for holding the 'Modified' value.
Still I think the behaviour of EA_OnNotifyContextItemModified is not exactly what it says in the manual...

That's why you need to report it...
