Behavior of edit_box

Hello there,

If I type-in some charakters in an edit_box, and then after that click on a
button wich should call a different dialog, the actions (action_tile)
related to the edit_box are being handled first. Then I'd have to click on
the same button again to call the different dialog. (the action is to
change the first character to uppercase and the rest to lower case in the
edit_box)

This is more or less understandable because typing some characters in an
edit_box wil not trigger an action. Allthough giving an enter after typing
the characters did change the characters, but did'nt solve the problem.
Because still I had to click on the button twice to popup the different
dialog.

Does this sound familliar to anyone? I hope I'm making any sense.

(action_tile "edit1" "(validate_value)")
(action_tile "button1" "(call_button1)")

(defun validate_value (/ val)
(setq val (strcat (strcase (substr $value 1 1)) (substr $value 2 (strlen
$value))))
(set_tile $key val)
(princ)
)


(defun call_button1 (/)

;Call Dialog or what ever, check,etc.

(princ)
)

My correction...

(defun validate_value (/ val)
(setq val (strcat (strcase (substr $value 1 1)) (strcase (substr $value 2
(strlen $value)) t)))
(set_tile $key val)
(princ)
)

Thanx for the input.
I'm not sure if this is the answer.

Thanx again.
