From what I've seen, the value of the Property doesn't update until the control loses focus. If you have other textboxes on that dialog, you could try putting those after the database textbox so the user has to tab to those first. Otherwise, you could use a maskededit control (see below for a sample and a good link) or as a last resort create a custom action that checks the value of the database property.
<Control Id="CDKeyEdit" Type="MaskedEdit" X="45" Y="159" Width="250" Height="16" Property="PIDKEY" Text="[PIDTemplate]" />
<Property Id="PIDTemplate"><![CDATA[12345<### ###>@@@@@]]></Property>

I have a dialog which requires you to enter the Database Name before you can
click on Next. I have a condition on the Next Button that makes sure the
Database Name is entered.
<Control Id="Next" Type="PushButton" X="236" Y="243" Width="56" Height="17"
Text="!(loc.WixUINext)">
<Publish Event="NewDialog"
Value="[WixUI_DatabaseSetupDlg_Next]">1</Publish>
<Condition Action="" = ""]]> OR
<![CDATA[DATABASESERVERNAME = ""]]></Condition>
<Condition Action="" <> ""]]> AND
<![CDATA[DATABASESERVERNAME <> ""]]></Condition>
</Control>
This works fine but requires the user to tab out of the field before it is
enabled. Since the installer may just type in the box and want to click on
the Next button it is not enabled. The property doesn't get set until the
text field is exited.
Is there any way to update the property with every key press?
Should I handle this in a message from the next saying 'Please enter a
database'?
Thanks,
