RadTextBoxElement databinding

[Michael]

Can a RadTextBoxElement be data bound?

The following code successfully binds a RadTextBox to a data field:

        class MyObject
        {
            public double Number { get; set; }
            public string Title { get; set; }
        }

        public Form1()
        {
            MyObject myObject = new MyObject() { Number = 5, Title = "Hello" };
            RadTextBox textBox = new RadTextBox();
            textBox.DataBindings.Add(new Binding("Text", myObject, "Title"));
            Controls.Add(textBox);
        }

However, the following code fails to bind a RadTextBoxElement to the same data field:

        class MyObject
        {
            public double Number { get; set; }
            public string Title { get; set; }
        }

        public Form1()
        {
            MyObject myObject = new MyObject() { Number = 5, Title = "Hello" };
            RadTextBoxElement textBox = new RadTextBoxElement() { MinSize = new Size(200, 0) };
            textBox.DataBindings.Add(new Binding("Text", myObject, "Title"));

            RadPanel elementsContainer = new RadPanel();
            elementsContainer.PanelElement.Children.Add(textBox);
            Controls.Add(elementsContainer);
        }

Is databinding supported on a RadTextBoxElement?  If so, am I doing it wrong?

Thanks,
