Unsaved data on a form

[Allen]

I am struggling with the conversion of an ext app (not unigui) into a unigui app.  In my old app I created a lot of windows as follows
 

win = desktop.createWindow({
  id: 'newTicket-win',
  closeAction:'hide',
  title: tTitle,
  iconCls:'icon-help',
  modal:true,
  TixToView: ticketID,
  width:twidth,
  height:theight,
  layout:{
     type:'fit'
  },
  items:[{
     xtype:'ticketForm',
     id: 'ticketFormID',
     flex:1
  }],
  onEsc: function() {
     var me = this;
     me.hide();
  },
  listeners: {
     beforeclose: function( window ) {
        var formPanel = Ext.getCmp('newTicket-win');
        var childPanel = formPanel.down('ticketForm');
           if (childPanel.getForm().isDirty())  {
              Ext.Msg.confirm( 'Closing confirmation', 'You have unsaved data are you sure you want to close?', function( answer ) {
               if( answer == "yes" ) {
                  window.destroy();
               } 
          } );
          return false;
        } 
    }
  }
});

how best does one achieve the equivalent of the beforeclose event from the Ext code above in UniGui.

Sorry, why?

Can you please explain in more detail?

My old environment was isapi dll + ExtJS (This was started with ExtJS 3.x 10+ years ago).  trying to draw lines between how I did things previously and UniGui has been a personal challenge.

In a generic ExtJS form there is a simple method ".getForm().isDirty()" that keeps track of a user modifying form fields. 

This is nice and simple, relatively bulletproof way of helping the user not lose data edits by navigating away from the form.

              Ext.Msg.confirm( 'Closing confirmation', 'You have unsaved data are you sure you want to close?', function( answer ) {
               if( answer == "yes" ) {
                  window.destroy();
               } 

If there is no similar function within UniGui then I would need to build my own capability attached to every input field in the application which will eventually lead to inconsistencies and potential "LOST" edits.

If I understand you correctly, you can search the forum for these keywords: "isValid", "validate"...
