I have a propertygriditem with the default password mask. If caps lock is on and I enter text into the propertygriditem the whole propertygrid turns grey, except for the propertygriditem's textbox (where I am currently entering text into).

This happens as I start entering text. I don't even have to press enter of something.

Has anybody encountered this problem before?

Ps. I'm using Xtreme ToolkitPro v11.1.0

A workaround to this problem was to simply call RedrawControl on the property grid control . This can be done when handling the XTPWM_PROPERTYGRID_NOTIFY message with the XTP_PGN_EDIT_CHANGED argument. An example is shown below:

// in the message map
ON_MESSAGE(XTPWM_PROPERTYGRID_NOTIFY, OnPropertyGridNotify)

// the method
LRESULT CDlgUserCreateWithPropertyGrid::OnPropertyGridNotify(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
{
    if (wParam == XTP_PGN_EDIT_CHANGED)
    {
       m_wndPropertyGrid.RedrawControl();
    }
    return FALSE;
}
