I notice once the property grid has been displayed, if I try to change the description of an item, it does not paint itself. If I click another item in the grid and then go back to the item I changed the description has been updated.

Here is what I am doing:
       'Sets up the item
        Set Item = Category.AddChildItem(PropertyItemString, "Description", "")
         With Item
         &nbs p;      .Description = "Material Name"
         &nbs p;      .Tag = ID_PROPERTY_MATERIAL_NAME
         &nbs p;      .Flags = ItemHasComboButton
         &nbs p;        LoadMaterialGrid Item 'this loads the combo list with some names
          End With

Now in the program

Private Sub wndPropertyGrid_ValueChanged(ByVal Item As XtremePropertyGrid.IPropertyGridItem)

    Select Case Item.Tag

        Case Defines.ID_PROPERTY_MATERIAL_NAME:
         Item.Description = "New Name"
    End Select
   

End Sub

This does not actaully paint the grid with the new text. The only way to get the new text is to click another item in the grid and then click back on the original item.

Can you reproduce this in one of the sample projects?

Yes, I can. I open up the visual basic sample app for "property grid".

Add  Item.Description = "Hello" to the  wndPropertyGrid_ValueChanged event. I added the line after the "Debug.Print Item.Value" line.

Run the app.

Change a value, any one of the items. I changed window size; press enter and you will see the description does not change.

Now click on a different item then click back on the item you changed the value for. you will then see the updated description.

Has anybody confirmed this to be a bug? Is there a workaround?
