Problems with Distemper and Text Box on a Datagram.Panel.

It seems that both the Distemper and Text Box on a Datagram.Panel don't behave as expected. IE their values don't become visible in their sender unless then loose focus by a users click. Programmaticly moving focus does not complete whatever internal process they require.(at lease in my work)

Does anyone know of an event that will trigger these controls to finalize themselves?

My problem is I have a DVG requiring different controls in each column. Also the user needs to be able to freely move about the grid and using a keystroke or enter automatically edit each control type
