When i place a TAdvMemo on a form I want to do some action if the text is modified.
I do this by using this code :
procedure TMainForm.AdvMemo1StatusChange(Sender: TObject);
begin
if AdvMemo1.Modified then
AdvLabel1.Caption := 'Modified';
end;
It works for all characters but the first typed in the memo.
The problem shows up in a fresh project with only 3 TMS components on the form so it should be reproducable.

Do you use the latest version of the components?
I have retested this here and I can see here that OnChange is triggered also for the first character entered and that in this OnChange event handler, AdvMemo.Modified = true
The version is 3.7.2.3 running on Delphi 10.3.3.
I did not use the OnChange but the OnStatusChange event.
The OnChange sets the modified flag on the first character, the OnStatusChange sets it on the second character.
Actually I was looking for an event that fires only on real code changes, not on cursor position changes.
So I tried different events and finally used obviously the wrong one.
Thank you

OnStatusChange is designed to trigger when things like the cursor position, insert state, ... change (to typically update a statusbar under the memo). The OnStatusChange after entering a key is triggered because this also changes the cursor position but it is triggered before Modified is set.
If you are after Modified, OnChange is the event to use.
