Hi,
I have a UltraTextEditor without any propertys set. The editor is bound to a string property of an object.
If I click in the text box and then click somewhere else, the text box loses his focus as expacted. If I click into the text box, type some text in there and remove the text after that, I can not lose the focus.
I already registered the "BeforeExitEditMode" - event to ensure that the "Cancel" flag of the eventargs is false but it doesn't work.
Has someone an idea?
It sounds to me like your data source can't accept an empty string. Try setting the Visual Studio IDE to break on all run-time exceptions and see if any are occurring that might be hidden.
If I am right, then you might be able to get around this by handling the Parse event of the Binding. I think there might also be properties on the Binding that control how empty string or null are interpreted.
If that doesn't help, I recommend that you try the same thing with a TextBox and see if you get any different results.
Yes, you are right. The databinding was the problem. I have bound the "Value" property to the string. Now I have changed the binding to the "Text" property and it works. Tanks a lot.
i am also having the focus issue, but in different case....
i am using ultramaskededit control for phone masking.....the focus is not moving to out of the control when there is partial text of the masked format..
eg: the phone format is (999) 999-9999 but if i give (999) 9 and tried to leave the field i am not able to leave...focus remains in the maskededit control....how can i rid off?
The '9' character specifies that entry is not required, so the control should not be forcing focus to be retained. Are you handling the Validating event? I tried this out in a quick test and I could enter "(999) 9" and I could properly set focus to another control on the form. You could also check to see if the MaskValidationError event is firing.

Another reason that you might not be able to leave the cell is if the control is data bound and the underlying data source field cannot accept a partial value.
no control is not bind
