We've come across this problem trying to dynamically update a list based on
the value of a text field. Fine when the user uses Graffiti, but didn't
work when the user used the keyboard dialog.
We found that when the keyboard dialog was dismissed a 'fldChangedEvent' was
sent. By handling this event in your form you should be able to stop the
user entering invalid data via the keyboard dialog.
