Exit

The high level event Exit may occur for windows and for components of the types Text Box, Drop Down List, Button, Check Box, Radio Button, Document, Date, Spin Button, Combo Box, List Box, Long List Box, Drop Combo Box, Generic Box and Tabbed Group.

This event will occur when the mouse cursor moves out of the rectangle that is defined as being the area for the window or component in question.

For a module, the event Exit occurs when program flow quits the Enter section of that module.

For other objects, the event Exit occurs when the object loses the focus (i.e. another object gains the focus) as a result of user action. In these cases the high level event Exit occurs after the low level events lostFocus and change.

Note: The event Exit is triggered after a lostFocus event and after a change event. In general, it is easier to attach event-handling code to these low-level events, than to have to figure out which of these events happened in the action logic of the high level event Exit.
