Then my guess would be that the validation code is incorrectly written.

Please show us the validateRecord code you are using. If you are not using validateRecord please show us the complete code that you are using to validate the field. > This behaviour with conjunction with broken numeric type handling > in dMaskedTextBox class (setting dMaskedTextBox.Value to value > of numeric type doesn't return numeric type value but string instead) > causes that data cursor memento becomes dirty when there were > no real changes in data value. I acknowledged the above issue as it applies to you in the past - do you have a solution? I'm not being smart with my question. If you have an idea let's hear it. The dMaskTextBox is a textbox and that means by design it works with strings. Take a look at the properties "Value" and "Mask". The doc string states it uses a string. If you need a number only control check out the wiki http://wiki.dabodev.com/HowToCreateANumberOnlyControl. Or tells us what you are attempting to do maybe we can help. > Is this everything by design? > And yet another question, why only dTextBox class implements > _inFlush semaphore but not entire data based control set? There maybe inconsistencies in the code either by design (some controls require different properties) or human error. The dTextBox is one that has been enhanced and maybe not be consistent with other controls.
