That is one way.
You can also directly update the model in a change event. I prefer to call into a single update function, passing in the property name and value, so that I can do things like compare data to toggle tool buttons an menu options.

I have a master detail setup with a list of sites in the master section and individual sites in the detail section. In the detail section I have a form and I want to bind the form field values to the current site object. When I click on a site object in the master component, the 'set' function in the details component sets the site and pulls the particulars for that site from the server. I handle that server call (still in the details component) and copy the site values from the database into the site object. The form fields in the details component are bound to the site object using '{}'. Now when I alter the fields the changes are not reflected in the site object. The fields are bound to the site object so they should change when the site object changes. However when the fields are changed the changes are not reflected in the site object and I have to manually update the fields to get this to work. I expected the binding to work both ways. Apparently not. Is this correct. Should I set binding programmatically and then set them both ways, like so? BindingUtils.bindProperty(siteObject, selected, checkboxField, selected); BindingUtils.bindProperty(checkBoxField, selected, siteObject, selected); Can anyone shed light on this and suggest a recommended way of doing what I want to achieve. Thanks. Kind regards. Luke
