Routines / Activating and Deactivating an Edit Record

TEDeactivate
The TEDeactivate procedure deactivates an edit record.
PROCEDURE TEDeactivate (hTE: TEHandle); 
hTE
A handle to the specified edit record.

DESCRIPTION
When you call TEDeactivate for an edit record, the highlighted selection range is no longer displayed. If the selection range is an insertion point, TEDeactivate no longer displays the caret. However, if you turned on outline highlighting through the TEFeatureFlag function for the edit record, the text of the selection range is framed or a dimmed or an unblinking caret is displayed at the insertion point when the record is deactivated.
Call this procedure every time the Event Manager function WaitNextEvent reports that the window containing the edit record has become inactive.
