Also worth noting, it is the only event that fires when the DOM is not read only. So, if your code is going to change a value in your XML, it needs to be on the Changed event.. If you follow the links to the individual events:</p> <blockquote> <p>During the <strong>Changing</strong> event, the form&#39;s underlying XML document is placed in read-only mode.<br />During the <strong>Validate</strong> event, the form&#39;s underlying XML document is placed in read-only mode.</p></blockquote>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/68523.aspxTue, 19 Jul 2011 00:13:22 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:68523Derek Megyesi0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/68523.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=39&PostID=68523<p>Hi all,</p> <p>Can someone please explain the 3 different types of programming events.&nbsp;When I right-click on a text-box,&nbsp;and select &quot;Programming&quot;, I see:&nbsp; </p> <p>1) Changing Event...</p> <p>2) Validating Event...</p> <p>3) Changed Event...</p> <p>What do these mean?</p> <p>HELP!</p> <p>Derek</p> <p>derek.megyesi at hotmail dot com&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
