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...

When working with Rich UI applications in the RBD tooling today it is often necessary to set properties at a package or part level indicating whether to use a Java or a JavaScript build descriptor during generation. For example, Rich UI handlers n...
