ondeselect style action

[NeerRaw]

Has anyone figured out a way to string together multiple controls/variables to get to an OnDeselect style action?  I'm almost able to do what my app needs via the onselect and onchange, but it would be better if I could figure this one out.  The pattern is that if someone clicks in the text input field and then clicks out of it without changing anything, i need to fire an action - likely set() but havent confirmed for sure since i can't do it.  Any ideas?  I'm stumped...

Related, I even strung together ways to change the text input without triggering the onselect or onchange, but that isn't the pattern I was aiming at.

Can you give an example to explain

without trying to explain the full scenario, the closest example i can come up with is data validation in real time.  if i have a field that requires a specific format, it may be required, or it may need to be a certain length, i want to alert someone immediately as they exit the field that they need to make a change.  I can handle most of the scenarios using on change, but if someone clicks on the field and doesn't enter something, then i can't trigger anything alerting them that they needed to.  Does that make sense?

I tried using a timer that started onselect and then constantly checked if the field was blank, but it was either triggering the alert too early or too late.

We can use these processes:

On OnSelect of each of the Fields (TextBox) set a Variable example: 

Set(varTochedTextbox1,true)

Set(varTochedTextbox2,true)

Next Step:

OnVisible of the Screen put:

Set(varTochedTextbox1,false);Set(varTochedTextbox2,false)

To ensure the variable does not take effect when user first goes to the screen

Finally, Using Your Submit Button OnSelect, Put:

If(varTochedTextbox1 Or varTochedTextbox2,Notify("Not All fieds are filled"),SubmitForm(Form1))

thanks for trying, but that isn't it.  there is no submit button in the scenario.  i need it to trigger as soon as someone leaves the field, not on taking another action, like clicking a submit button.

I have some test on it:
1. Insert a Label1 and put some text in it example "You have not filled Some Textboxes"

2. Set a variable OnVisible of the screen:  

Set(varTochedTextbox1,false);Set(varEmptyTextbox,DataCardValue6.Text)

Replace DataCardValue6 with your textbox

3.In the DataCardValue6 that has to be completed by the user put:

Set(varTochedTextbox1,true)

4.Finally in the Visible of Label1:

If(varTochedTextbox1&&IsBlank(varEmptyTextbox),true,false)
