suppressChangeEvent on DojoCheckBox and other Dojo-fields

RBD9.5 introduced a property suppressChangeEvent on DojoTextField. This was very useful since we were now able to eliminate a lot of code that would simulate this working when set to true. However, this property seemed to be implemented on text-ba...
