Remarks
By default, the ValidateOnTextInput property is set to true and the TextEdit behaves like the standard TextBox.
If the ValidateOnTextInput property is set to false, the WPF validation mechanism is used. In this instance, to avoid invalid values from posting to a data source, the BaseEdit.EditValue, TextEditBase.Text and BaseEdit.DisplayText properties are synchronized with the text entered by the end-user only after this text is validated.
