URGENT : onItemChange not working if the value is set programatically

Hi ,

Using TS 6.5 SP1 Win 2003 .

I have a textbox .

If I set the value of textbox using item.setValue() then this does not trigger my 'onItemChange' event .

If we manually change the value in textbox then onItemChange is called .

Could anyone please let me know ..what should be the workaround for the same ?

There is no workaround. Programmatic changes usually do not trigger On Change Events.
If you want an appropriate handler to work after programmatic change as well, simply call it right after item.setValue() supplying required parameters

onItemChange basically works on Select, Checkbox and Radio button. IF you want same functionality you have to use a different handler on you functions.

Do you mean to say when you set the focus to that particular field after setting the value, the onItemChange event is called? What type of DCT field is it? Coz I had tried the same thing but it didn't work for me. Can you please elaborate your solution????
