It would be nice if the StandardForm had some kind of a boolean property to always stay in edit mode. Now after Save, the form always returns in ReadOnly mode until you press (or call) Edit again. Being the form in ReadOnly mode looks strange to our customers, since they have used forms to be editable. So we always have to call Save and Edit together. This sometimes messes with the focus of controls and we have to write the same code all over again in all our forms.

It would be nice if this was an option.

Thanks

How does changing the ManageUIReadOnlyState effect the EditingState Property? From my initial testing it seems like the EditingState doesnt change after ManageUIReadOnlyState is set to False.

It doesn't.  It just doesn't update the readonly or enabled state of the controls when the editing state changes. 

If you want to know when a user enters a value, you can still handle the EditingStateChanged event...but better yet, use the IsDirtyChanged event.
