AbtEwObjectComboBoxEditPolicy not firing change events

[jtuchel]

Hi there,

I have a container details column with an AbtEwObjectComboBoxEditPolicy in it. It works just fine, once we found out how to get it into the column.
Unfortunately, it seems it doesn't fire the appropriate change-events if you select a value in the dropdown list. The object's value is only updated if the user clicks another row in the container. It seems like only endEditCallback updates the object.

The effect is that if a user changes a row's value in the dropdown-box and clicks OK without changing the focus to another row in the container, the object isn't updated. That's not what a user expects. She expects the value in the object to be what she sees in the container.
The problem is due to the fact that #widgetValueOn: is only called when an edit operation ends.

What can we do to make a selection change in an AbtEwObjectComboBoxEditPolicy to fire an update on the object immediately?

Thanks

Joachim
