The problem is, that the forms engine does not reflect a changed gui until it comes up again for the user to enter data, i.e. it collects all changes and displays them at once, if the user finally is expected to enter keys, rather than displaying them as soon as the change is executed programmatically. I think there is no easy solution to that problem.
