i have a form, which hosts a tabcontrol.
each of these tabs have plenty of controls ranging from textbox, combobox, treecontrol, spin controls.
On top of the form there is a textbox.
if there are any changes made using the controls of the forms say a value is changed in the combobox of tab 1 or a item was deleted from the tree control i need to show a “*” indicating that certain values have been changed.
How can i acheive this in an efficient way?
or is handling the resp. controls changed event the only way to know whether an item is changed or not ?
I think this article on Codeproject might help you, it aids in the tracking of changes in the winforms controls.
Hope this helps.
