OnObjectExit
Performs a script before an active object is exited as a result of the following:
•a user tabs away from an object
•a user clicks a different object
•a script step attempts to make a different object be the active object
•a user requests a dialog box that would normally cause the field to be exited
•a user attempts to move between rows in a
portal object
When the script runs

Result

•False: The event that triggered the script is canceled.

Notes
•In FileMaker WebDirect, this script trigger will not activate when assigned to a web viewer.
•The trigger will activate regardless of how the object is formatted.
•If the object is set to not allow entry, the script can only be triggered if the object is entered using a script step.
•Clicking into a different portal row will activate the OnObjectExit script trigger set on the row being exited and then the
OnObjectEnter script trigger for the new row. As with OnObjectExit script triggers assigned to other objects, the script trigger is activated before the exit occurs, and the script determines whether the exit is successful based on the script result.
•Scrolling does not make the object active and does not activate this script trigger.
•OnObjectExit will not activate from a portal in Find mode.
