Entryfield and onChange events

An onChange event has been programmed for an entryfield. On changing the content of the entryfield from the keyboard results in the execution of the onChange program. However, the onChange event does not take place when the content of the entryfield is
changed programmatically. How do get an onChange event to fire when the entryfield contents is changed programmatically?

This is the correct "WAD" behaviour. There may be times when the developer does
not want the onChange to fire after a programmatic change in value, and this
would be a real problem if automatic firing took place.

You, the developer know if you want this event to fire after such a change and
can fire it manually from code :

form.myobject.onChange()
