Its different situation. Pressing Control in toolbar don't grab focus. You can grab it manually :

 

OK, I changed the sample. Now i placed a command bar with a save button. Now the PropertyGrid doesn't lose the focus.

This project works for me. I entered string in first item, clicked button and see changed text in output.

 

Also add

 

Private Sub prpGrid1_ValueChanged(ByVal Item As XtremePropertyGrid.IPropertyGridItem)
    Debug.Print "prpGrid1_ValueChanged"
End Sub

and you will see Output after you click button.

 

 

What OS  do you have ?

 

I posted a verry small sample, that shows, that the ValueChange event will not fired, if the focus is lost. Just type in some data (don't press ENTER or TAB) and than click onto the button!

 

These:

 

 

What other events? AfterEdit or ValueChanged don't work for you ?

 

Correct again Oleg , you are really awake. But now I am too, yesterday I had a mini nervous breakdown hehehe

 

But what about the other events? Are there plans to implement these ?(well they are implemented but won't fire). When these events would fire most of us will do there own checking if a certain char is entered, we don't need RegEx  (just kidding).

CancelEdi fires if user press Escape to restore what he changed.

 

 

 

The order of events is:

 

press ENTER, TAB or looses focus >

 

1.      wndPropertyGrid_AfterEdit > Cancel = false > 2a. Cancel = True > 2b.

2a.    wndPropertyGrid_ValueChanged

2b.    wndPropertyGrid_LostFocus

 

Oleg:

when will this event fire?

 

Private Sub wndPropertyGrid_CancelEdit(ByVal Item As XtremePropertyGrid.IPropertyGridItem)
    MsgBox "I never seen this event fire before"

End Sub

 

 

Private Sub wndPropertyGrid_KeyDown(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)

    Msgbox "I never fire"

    'I would like to:  

    Call wndPropertyGrid_ValueChanged(currentEditingPropItem) 

End Sub

 

Private Sub wndPropertyGrid_KeyUp(KeyCode As Integer, Shift As Integer)

 

Do you see same with our sample ? With all items ?
