What I always do is to capture the individual "changed" events of the controls. In the below example I used a tabcontrol in this example. The Try/Catch is a dirty solution for not having to deal with all kinds of exceptions ;-)

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
    '
    ' some code        
    '
    BindingNavigatorSaveItem.Enabled = False
    For Each tabctl As Control In Me.TabControl1.Controls
        For Each ctl As Control In tabctl.Controls
            Try
                If ctl.GetType Is GetType(TextBox) Then
                    AddHandler DirectCast(ctl, TextBox).TextChanged, AddressOf GenDataChanged
                ElseIf ctl.GetType Is GetType(NumericUpDown) Then
                    AddHandler DirectCast(ctl, NumericUpDown).ValueChanged, AddressOf GenDataChanged
                ElseIf ctl.GetType Is GetType(ComboBox) Then
                    AddHandler DirectCast(ctl, ComboBox).SelectedValueChanged, AddressOf GenDataChanged
                ElseIf ctl.GetType Is GetType(CheckBox) Then
                    AddHandler DirectCast(ctl, CheckBox).CheckStateChanged, AddressOf GenDataChanged
                End If
            Catch ex As Exception
            End Try
        Next
    Next
End Sub

Private Sub GenDataChanged(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs)
    BindingNavigatorSaveItem.Enabled = True
End Sub
