hi,
I have a multi-page editor form with a page that is using master details
block pattern. In my details page that extends IDetailsPage it has a
bunch of text boxes with modify listners. when i type something one of
the text boxes i want the editor to become dirty with *.

in my DetailsPage have:

public void modifyText(ModifyEvent e) {

setDirty(true);
.....

public boolean isDirty() {
return isDirty;
}

public void setDirty(boolean state) {
this.isDirty = state;
mform.dirtyStateChanged();
}

mform is IManagedForm and evenually calls firePropertyChange(PROP_DIRTY);

this doesn't work. y?

how can i directly call firePropertyChange(PROP_DIRTY); from my
DetailPage in my Master/Detail block?

Did you override the isEditor() method of the Page ? It should be override
and return true. Moreover, when you add page in your editor you should also
pass EditorInput object.

If you'll not do these things Page will be act as a non-editor page and
therefore no need to make it dirty or stale.

Hope this would help.

The Editor Structure that I have is

MultiPageEditor extends FormEditor
_ with a Page extends FormPage
_ which has a Block which extends MasterDetailsBlock
_ which contains a details page which implements IDetailsPage

when a change is made in my detailspage

it calls
mform.dirtyStateChanged();

like so:

> public boolean isDirty() {
>> return isDirty;
>> }
>>
>> public void setDirty(boolean state) {
>> this.isDirty = state;
>> mform.dirtyStateChanged();
>> }

The multiPageEditor class recieves the notification of the dirty only if
its isDirty method is like this

boolean isDirty() {
return super.isDirty()
}

so in my doSave, after saving

i do:

firePropertyChange(PROP_DIRTY);

if I take out the super.isDirty and replace it with my own dirty flag,
the editor never dirties. if i have super.isDirty, i can't use my own flag.

How can i fix this? Are any MultiPageEditor/Detailspages examples that
have saving and editor dirtying implemented? The one from the forms
programming guide is unimplemented
