Description
Initiates when a form filler changes the
content of a field by performing one of these actions:
-
Types a keystroke providing the field has keyboard focus
-
Pastes data into the field
-
Makes a selection from a list box or drop-down list
-
Selects or deselects a check box
-
Changes the setting of a group of radio buttons
This
event does not initiate in response to changes in the object values
as a result of calculations or scripts, or by the merging of the
form design with data.

Example
Use
this event for any calculations or scripts that must initiate in
response to a form filler changing the value of a field. For example,
you can use the
change
event for a drop-down list
to highlight specific rows in a table. Using this technique, each
time the form filler selects a value in the drop-down list, the corresponding
row of the table appears highlighted.
Note:
Scripting
against an object's
'this.rawValue'
does not work.
Use the event model property
$event.fullText
instead
to get the object's current value.
For a detailed example
of using the
change
event, see
Getting the current or previous value of a drop-down list
.
