The OnChange event for a text field only gets fired on exiting the field or a F9 refresh. I am using Notes 6.0.1 and supposedly the problem has been fixed in 6.0.1.
It works fine with the “Run Exiting/OnChange events after value change” checked for combobox and listbox type fields.
Any ideas how to make this work or is it still a bug?

Per Lotus this behaviour is by design. Doesn’t make sense to me at all. What is the reason for the ‘OnChange’ event if it only fires after you do a refresh or leave the field? Then I can just use the ‘Exiting’ event.

Makes perfect sense. In fact it works very well. the same cannot be accomplished by using the OnBlur or Exiting events as those are always run even if the value isnt changed. which usually leads to uneccesarry refresh’s slowing down the app.
