You create a boolean property of the Form called "Dirty." Each form element
must have the handlers to indicate whether a change has occurred which would
cause the Form to become "Dirty" according to your definition. The handlers
will set the property to true. You also have to decide the business rules
for setting the property to false, such as creating a new document or file
of whatever type you're creating.

I had the same problem once. Fixed it using the same solution.
