Programmatic changes rarely fire CHANGE events. The "valueCommit" event should fire no matter how you change it.

Do I have to manually dispatch the 'change' event myself or is there a better way to programmatically change the combo as if a user had actually changed it? (for example, like ArrayCollection's 'itemUpdated()' method?) Thanks
