coordinates of where the event occurred, and a mode value to indicate which specific mouse action
occurred:
0: Mouse button was pressed.
1: Mouse moved while the button was pressed.
2: Mouse button was released
3: Mouse was positioned over a custom control with the button not pressed.

Handling editing actions

For editable controls, GoLive generates the
field signals this event vary according to the type and the values of the onChange , onEnter , and
onNoChanged properties.
When onNoChanged is true , the control responds whether or not the text content has changed;
●
when it is false , the control responds only if the content has changed.
When onChange is true , the control responds when the user clicks outside it.
●
When onEnter is true (as it is for the type buttonedit ) the control responds when the user presses
●
E , and also has an optional Enter button, controlled by a user preference.
NTER
When multiline is true (as it is for the type editarea ) the control has multiple lines, and responds
●
to each keypress, as well as loss of focus.
The type that you specify in the tag that creates an edit control sets certain default behavior; you can vary
this by changing the property values.

Handling events in a control's parent window

When an event is generated for a control (or any other nested object), GoLive looks for handlers for that
event that are registered with ancestor objects of that control—such as the containing panel, and its
containing window. It starts at the highest level and runs the first handler it finds, before running any
