TextBox Validating event firing twice

Hello to all

I'm handling the Validating event for one text box.
If something is wrong in user input I show a warning message.
The problem is that if I add [e.Cancel=true] to method the message is
displayed twice (event fired twice).
Without [e.Cancel=true] event is fired once.

if(txtMSG.Length > 0)
{
MessageBox.Show(txtMSG, "Warning !", MessageBoxButtons.OK,
MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation);
e.Cancel = true;
}

Can you help me ?

Thank you !

Hi Dan,

Ensure that the focus is set to some other control when moving off text box
control. If the focus is not on some other control than text box but you try
closing the form, this event will be fired twice, since the form performs
the validation again.

Thank you for your answer !

I don't want to close the form. I want to stop the user moving from TextBox
if enter some invalid data. If I add e.Cancel=true then user can't move to
other control until enter valid data.
Moving to other control is not an option for me.

Well, when you change the value of e.Cancel, the Validating event is fired
again. So I think you should change the procedure as follow
if(txtMSG.Length > 0)
{
e.Cancel = true;
MessageBox.Show(txtMSG, "Warning !", MessageBoxButtons.OK,
MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation);
}

See this

private void txtCode_Validating(object sender,
System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs e)
{
if (txtCode.Text.Length > 5)
{
e.Cancel = true;
MessageBox.Show("The Code should not be more than 5 chars!", "Warning
!", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Exclamation);
}
}
It works pretty much well. When the text in the txtCode control be more than
5 chars, the messagebox will show only once.
