Prevent the fireing of a textbox leave eventI have code (using the leave event) in a textbox which prevents the user
from leaving the box if it is blank. I would like the user to be able to click on the [close] button of the form and close that form without firing the leave event in that text box. An answer would be helpful. Thanks, Bill Hello William,
Preventing the user from leaving a text box is really just bad form. Users don't like it, and it creates headaches for the programmer, as you have experienced. Typically user input validation is done when the Submit/OK/Apply button is pressed.. if there is an error you can indicate the error at that time. It's an extremely rare case where input validation HAS to be done as the user is typing. -Boo Show quoteHide quote > I have code (using the leave event) in a textbox which prevents the > user from leaving the box if it is blank.

In fact did you write in my idea the answer, don't use an own routine, use the validating events and the errorprovider. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/system.windows.forms.errorprovider.aspx I hope this helps Cor Show quoteHide quote "GhostInAK" <ghosti***@gmail.com> schreef in bericht news:c71747b417e408c860444181167a@news.microsoft.com... > Hello William, > > Preventing the user from leaving a text box is really just bad form. > Users don't like it, and it creates headaches for the programmer, as you > have experienced.
