I'm pretty sure that the default behavior does this already (though I 
could be mistaken).  The OP's description sounds like he's trying to do 
it without a focus change or edit completion event.  Or maybe he's 
expecting the edit to get accepted when closing the containing dialog or 
frame, which does not happen.  The default behavior there is to cancel 
the edit and discard it.
