    Changes to the Active property trigger the ActiveChanged method.
    If an OnActiveChange event handler is assigned, ActiveChanged calls
    this event handler. If ActiveChanged is triggered by a transition into
    an active state, then before calling the event handler, ActiveChanged makes
    sure that the Field for this TFieldDataLink is still valid.
  <-- Delphi Help

   Update the field instance. When not Active field will be set to nil
   Call OnActiveChange

end;

{ Delphi Help ->
    Changing the field binding can change the validity of the CanModify
    property, since individual field components can disallow edits. If
    TFieldDataLink is in an editing state when the Field property is changed,
    EditingChanged checks the CanModify property. If CanModify is False, it
    changes back out of the editing state.

    Note: This differs significantly from the inherited EditingChanged method
    of TDataLink. The functionality of the inherited method is replaced in
    TFieldDataLink by the OnEditingChange event handler.
  <-- Delphi Help

  ok so another event... but this time we simply change modified state
  if Editing and not CanModify? or do we also change to match if
  if not Editing and CanModify? i.e If Editing <> CanModify??  Will assume
  the latter just in case. easy to change back if I am wrong.

  Also based on this we replace parent routine, so do we need to keep track
  of Editing state ourself? I hope this is right. Anyone know for sure?

  OK .. based on the Modified routine we need to turn off
  our IsModified routine when succesfull right? so for now just turn
  it off as per my example.

  where..can write pending events. So I guess when we have already
  called Modified? Aka if not IsModified exit otherwise call event?
  works for me.

  Check if the field matches and if Control is TWinControl than call SetFocus

    Use Edit to try to ensure that the contents of the field can be modified.
    A return value of True indicates that the field was already in an editing
    state, or that the DataSource was successfully changed to allow editing.
    A return value of False indicates that the DataSource could not be changed
    to allow editing. For example, if the CanModify property is False, Edit
    fails, and returns False.
  <-- Delphi Help

  ok so the way I see it, since the inherited function calls EditingChanged,
  which we have already overriden to modify our own Editing state if its invalid,
  I should just be calling the inherited routine here, but only if CanModify,
  since there is no point otherwise. But since we _are_ keeping track of editing
  state ourselves we return our own state, not the inherited. If anyone know
  better please fix.

  <-- Delphi Help

  ok so. well _that's_ helpfull. for the moment going to keep track
  by adding an IsModified... based on the other functions thus far
  we need to know whether we are in state, so I am assuming it goes

  Call Modified ->
    IsModified:=True;//Waiting for modifications

  Call SomeFunction->
    If IsModified then begin
      (do something)
      IsModified := False;//All modifications complete
    end
    else
     (do something else? exit?);

    The Control that owns a TFieldDataLink object calls its Reset method to
    process a UI action that cancels edits to the field. Reset calls the

  <-- Delphi Help

  Just call to the OnDataChange Event, and turn off IsModified
