object-editor-save

Arguments: object-editor

This function is called by the :save-button widget of an object-editor dialog (see command-buttons), and may also be called directly by application code.

It writes any values that the user has modified in the widgets of the object-editor (an instance of object-editor) back into the slots of the current-instance that the object-editor is displaying. If object-editor-revert is called first to undo the current edits, then they will never be saved.

This function is called automatically whenever a new instance is displayed, to save the previously-displayed instance first. It is also called when the keyboard focus is moved from the object-editor if its save-on-clear-focus property is true. It is called anytime the user has modified a widget if the save-on-new-widget-value property is true.

The modified property of an object-editor will be true when there are unsaved edits to the currently-displayed instance.
