+The return values will no longer be used. Instead widget methods will be added to control the validation state of each widget, eg. ''setValid(true|false)''.\\

   * ''onChange'': triggered whenever the value of the widget is changed, either programmatically or by the user.
-  * ''onUserChange'': triggered whenever the value of the widget is changed by the user.

 When in a lua function, invoked by an event handler, the calling object (the object invoking the event) will be made available through the value 'this'.
-Other object can be retrieved using the ''getWidget('name')'' function.
