I come a little late to this topic, but what about LostFocus? I'm assuming 
you're all talking about text boxes here. I have a project with about 8 
textboxes, and a submit button.

I have an onLostFocus proc for each of them (If you want it to update in 
real-time as the user types, then hook in w32HKeyPress as well as 
w32HLostFocus.) In each proc, it calls getText and assigns it to the 
relevant variable.

When the submit button is pressed, it will call each of those lostFocus 
procs, just to be sure that the information is correct.

Is that the sort of thing you're looking for?
