I have a textbox control to take some input and a button to execute something. I want the button's click event will not work as long the validation to the textbox is successful.

I am writing below code for validating compulsary field account no. in form.User's requirement is set focus back on field when error comes :
If txtAccountNo = "" Then
MessageBox.Show("Account no filed can't be left empty")
txtAccountNo.SetFocus
Exit Sub
End If
It's working properly. But suppose user don't want to fill form and exiting from application.Message box keep on appearing till user enters account no.
In WinForms I could handle the Validated event to do something after the user changed text in a TextBox. Unlike TextChanged, Validated didn't fire for every character change; it only fired when the user was done.Is there anything in WPF I can use to get the same result, an event raised only after the user is done changing the text?
View 3 RepliesI have a custom text box component (inherits from system.windows.forms.textbox) that I created in vb.net (2005) that handles the input of numeric data. It works well.
I would like to suppress the validating and validated events from firing if the number hasn't changed. If a user is tabbing through the form and tabs from the text box, the validating/validated events are fired.
I was thinking that the text box could cache the value and compare it to what is listed in the text property. If they are different, then I would want the validating/validate events to fire. If they are the same, nothing is fired.
I can't seem to figure out how to suppress the event. I have tried overriding the OnValidating event. That didn't work.
Update:
Here is the custom text box class. The idea is that I want to cache the value of the text box on the validate event. Once the value is cached, the next time the user tabs through the box, the validating event will check to see if the _Cache is different from the .Text. If so that is when I would like to raise the validating event to the parent form (as well as the validated event). If the _cache is the same, then I don't want to raise the event to the form. Essentially the text box will work the same as a regular text box except that the validating and validated method are only raised to the form when the text has changed.
Public Class CustomTextBox
#Region "Class Level Variables"
Private _FirstClickCompleted As Boolean = False 'used to indicate that all of the text should be highlighted when the user box is clicked - only when the control has had focus shifted to it

I am facing a issue while using the "validating" event of the maskedtextbox. I have an MDI form, in which there is a main form and a form acting as bottom bar. The bottom bar comprises of buttons for moving to "previous" and "next" forms. If suppose in the main form i have a maskedtextbox and the initial focus is set on it, then on the click event of the button (next; which is on the bottom bar form), it calls the validating event of the maskedtextbox twice. In the validating event of the maskedtextbox, i am checking some validations and if it doesnt pass, then i set [e.cancel = true]. just let me know the reason behind the triggering of "Validating" event twice?
View 1 RepliesI have a validating event for a txtbox called txtname. If the user tries to leave txtname for another txt box without entering their name a messagebox comes up giving an error. I have an exit button which will when clicked ask you if you really want to leave then you can choose yes or no. I can't seem to figure out how to allow the user to click the exit button while leaving the txtname blank so it would bypass the error message and only bring up the exit prompt. Here's what I have coded for the validating event and the exit event.

View 2 RepliesWe have a window that has a text box on it that the user must enter in valid data before going on. So we have put in a message box letting the user know that they have to enter in the correct data before going on in the Leave event. That works just fine, but when the user press ALT+F4, or presses the X in the upper right corner of the window it still goes through the event. We would not like for that to happen. When we were using VB6 the same code was in the lost focus, and when the user pressed ALT+F4, and the X the LostFocus event did not fire, or acted like it did not fire. We have also tried moving the code to the Validating event, but it behaives similar to the Leave event? how to close a window, and either have the Leave, LostFocus, and Validating events not fire when the user Presses ALT+F4, or the X
View 6 RepliesI have an application that has more than 20 text boxes used as inputs(numeric) ( in a form with multiple tabs), and from these numeric inputs I calculate many parameters and display them in other text boxes.The question is how can I trigger an event that will run the calculation procedures each time any of the text boxes numeric values change?( with out having to make procedure for each text box validated eventIs there some thing like a common validation event for any entry in any text box?

I designed a DataGridView under the name "dgvTarifa" and took a chance on trying Row Validating (tried Validated, CellEnter, CellLeave, RowEnter, RowLeave all count same) event. The purpose of the code is to load the selected values of the respective columns into three textboxes in order to rephrase/revalue those and update them by pressing a button. All works fine every single line of code there's nothing wrong except one logical thing.
When the form loads the RowValidating automatically fires because I have a function that Selects the table from the Database and it fills the DataSet by then attaching it to the datasourse of the "dgvTarifa" table. After setting the datasource of the datagridview, it automatically jumps to the RowValidating event which I DONT WANT TO! It first has to finish the whole function and later when the user enters with mouse or enters/leaves a row this has to be fired. (eventually already have the CellClick event with the same code below so only RowValidating has to work properly...)
Here's the code I use at row validating
Code:
Private Sub dgvTarifa_RowValidating(sender As System.Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellCancelEventArgs) Handles dgvTarifa.RowValidating

I am having a problem with the cellvalidating event constantly firing when the datagrid is refreshed (since the trigger that fires the event is the originally selected cell losing focus).I would like to remove the event handler for this at certain points of my code so that it does not fire but the examples I have come across on MSDN don't appear to do anything, so I guess I must be doing something wrong.[code]
View 1 RepliesWinforms, VS2008 I have a mainform that has 2 usercontrols: UC1 and UC2.UC1 has a treeview with treenodes. UC2 has tabControl with few tabPages. Selecting different nodes displays different details view in the TabControl's TabPages. What I need is canceling the event when the user has selected a node in the treeview, then he selects another node (i want to be able to cancel this last event:selecting another node, all depending on a certain logic)I mean: When the user is working on a tabpage in the tabControl, when he clicks on a different node in treeview (different from the currently selected node), before displaying the new node's details in the TabControl, I perform some logic, then depending on that logic, I set
e.cancel = true in the UC2 Validating event handler. (Rememebr UC2 includes the TabControl and the user, supposedly, has the focus on a control somewhere in TabControl)
But mysteriously, the event gets never canceled and the user still moves to the next node, displaying its details in the TabControl, although I set e.cancel = true.
In a Windows Form application I have a Form with a UserControl that contains a child control. I have an event handler for the child control's Validating event. On the parent UserControl I call the ValidateChildren() method. But the event handler for the child control's Validating event does not run. The CausesValidation property is set to true on both the parent UserControl and the child control. Is there any reason why the Validating event handler would not run?
The child control is a custom control derived from Panel. It contains two RadioButton controls, both of which have their CausesValidation property set to true.
I'm writing a part of an application for a movie ticket program.
Basically, I have to write an If statement verifying the age put in a textbox, based on a radiobox that is checked.

I have a textbox, a standard button and a toolstrip containing a couple of buttons. In the validating event of the textbox i coded to check whether it is blank. If yes then it shows a message 'Enter Value'. When the standard button is clicked while the textbox is empty, it's validating properly and showing the message but when the toolstripbutton is clicked it's not not validating the textbox and no message is being shown. It seems that I gotto write the validation code explicitly in the toolstripbutton_click event which is too troublesome when there are multiple textboxes and toolstripbuttons on a single form. What I want to know is whether the textbox_validating can be fired while the toolstripbutton is clicked? Handling toolstrips is really a headache. I'm badly in need of it.

I have a MDIParent form and 2 child forms. One of them,form1, has a textbox for which certain validations are present in the validating event. The other one has a button on it. When I try to navigate from form1 to form2, the validating event is firing twice for the first time. Is there a way to make it fire only once. And also, this event fires whenever I try to close the mdi parent form Attached is a sample project.
