OnDataChange for Combobox different in WC versus SC

Classic Servoy
1

I have a non-editable Combobox field with a ValueList to force the user to only select a valid value.
In WC, typing a few letters will work like a type-ahead and move down the list to the matching item in the list. Hitting Enter then triggers the onDataChange event.
In SC, the onDataChange event is triggered with each key stroke.
Is this to be expected? Any workarounds?

this is how the look and feel are working.
You see the selected value really changing with every keystroke.

you could use a TypeAhead field with that same valuelist…

In Smart client, but not in Web client. I’d like to get the same behaviour on SC as I see in WC, not triggered with each keystroke. Is there a way to do that?

as i said, thats they way look and feel (native apps) are working, i know WC and SC work differently there, but thats there native behavior

If you want to the same: Use the TypeAhead field.
