While the user types into the input field, changes are only "commited" (to the SelectedValue property) when the control loses focus or when the user hits "Enter".
Is there a simple way to check if the control's status is currently "committed" or "not-committed" (i. e. the user has typed something into the box but hasn't hit Enter or activated another control) without to resorting to value comparisons (which would mean to parse Date values etc. which I want to avoid)?
