Have you verified that this isn't the case on R5? The BeBook is incorrect/out if date in quite a few places.

Replying to anevilyak:

Sorry, I don't have an R5 anymore. It's strange because if you set the text you don't need a message, you know it's changed. As with other widgets you need a message when the user does. If you set a checkbox of a slidebar you don't receive a message. I found the description more logic and coherent than the behavior.

(commenting to get implicitely "Cc'ed" to this ticket since the Modify Ticket area no longer displays here.. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if it's worth filing a ticket against W+)

Same here, don't remember what happened when using that back in R5 so can't answer that, but definitely noticing it in Haiku, so much so that I've had to add ugly hacks in my framework (tcontrol->SetMessage(NULL) followed by SetText() followed by tcontrol->SetMessage(new BMessage(oldmsg)), ouch :-)

Maybe this'll have to be turned into an enhancement and moved beyond R1....
