Hey, Jonas, thanks for the response. Here's a follow-up for you (and anybody
else who wants to chime in): what do you do if a value changes in your
variable, but not as a result of the control itself? For example, let's say
we have txt_Total (a text box that is uneditable by the user and whose value
is equal to the sum of four other text boxes). Let's say you've decided to
use variables to track your control values (or rather, control values are
determined by certain variables). When do you check for and update the
control value? Basically, how do you update control values based on
variables that have no onChange() event?
