To reproduce: use the following code snippet and follow the steps from the gif file: PropertyStoreItem item1 = new PropertyStoreItem(typeof(string), "Test1", "Test1"); PropertyStoreItem item2 = new PropertyStoreItem(typeof(string), "Test2", "Test2"); RadPropertyStore store = new RadPropertyStore(); store.Add(item1); store.Add(item2); this.radPropertyGrid1.SelectedObject = store; this.radPropertyGrid1.ToolbarVisible = true; Workaround: close the editor programmatically when the search box gets focus. this.radPropertyGrid1.PropertyGridElement.ToolbarElement.SearchTextBoxElement.TextBoxItem.GotFocus += TextBoxItem_GotFocus; private void TextBoxItem_GotFocus(object sender, EventArgs e) { this.radPropertyGrid1.EndEdit(); }
