Hello,

I think the problem here is that since DataFilterBase is a DependencyObject and not a WPF element, WPF's binding system doesn't know how to find the governing FrameworkElement.  In our PropertyGridFiltersBuiltin QuickStart, as a workaround, we give our filter an x:Name and then use x:Reference in a binding on the TextBox-like control, similar to this:

Text="{Binding Source={x:Reference stringFilter}, Path=Value, Mode=TwoWay, UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged, Delay=500}"
