Is it possible to trigger OnLeave event or modified() function when using scanners to scan a field?

I created a simple stringEditControl and implemented a modified() function for it in which I call the executeQuery of a datasource in order to add a filter and refresh the data:

public boolean modified ()
{
next modified();
this.modified_post();
return true;
}

public void modified_post()
{
FormDataSource fds = element.datasource(formDataSourceStr(EcoResProductDetailsExtended, InventTable));
fds.executeQuery();
}

This works perfectly. However, when a scanner is used to enter data into the text field, the modified function is not triggered.

I think this is perhaps because the OnLeave event may not be triggered. When I manually enter data into the field, the modified function triggers as soon as you press TAB to leave the field.

Is there a way to make sure this solution works for scanners too? Can I use X++ to call or trigger the modified function from some other event or function which is called when data is entered via the scanner?

Hi Superbunny,

Can you tell us how the scanner is used? Is it directly entering data in the field as input device or is X++ coding used to update the control after something got scanned?
