You could work with a view on the dialog and with the model. The view
only shows, what you could see on the screen. Could be there is some
content behind which will be saved if you press the SAVE-Button. The
model has content, which could be saved.

I don't know much about dialogs, in form-controls the text could be
changed and nothing would be saved by the database, because the value
of the control hasn't been saved.

If I will change a date in a form I write down
oDateField.BoundField.updateDate( unoDate )
and this changes both: The content I could see and the content behind
for the database. It works as typing it in the field.

Regards

Robert
