I'm declaring an edittext object in Sub Globals and initializing it, et.initialize(""), just before adding it to a panel that is added to a customdialog2.
All works well, except that the sub et_TextChanged (Old, New) is never called.
I have other edittexts that are created within the designer and their TextChanged events happen as they should.
It is more useful for other users to actually post how it was solved vs just saying it was solved. From your text I'm guessing et.initialize("") needed to be et.initialize("et") since the parameter in initialize indicates the event prefix used before the _ in all the events for that view.
