Trigger validate on every letter typed in DevExpress TextEdit

Question

Why does the following not trigger the Validate event when a letter is typed into the TextEdit? If will trigger the event only when focus is lost.

 <dxe:TextEdit EditValue="{Binding MyName}" ValidateOnTextInput="True" ValidateOnEnterKeyPressed="False" />

Answer 1

I've not used that control, but try this:

<dxe:TextEdit EditValue="{Binding MyName, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged}" 
    ValidateOnTextInput="True" ValidateOnEnterKeyPressed="False" />

You can find out more from the Binding.UpdateSourceTrigger Property page on MSDN.
