Enable/Diasble button w/ 2 conditions.

[csharp learner]

Hi currently with 1 combobox,textbox and a OK button which the button will enabled once my textbox is not empty.

private void locacodeBox_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            TextBox textBox = sender as TextBox;
            if (locacodeBox.Text.Length == 0)
                locacodeBox.Tag = false;
            else
                locacodeBox.Tag = true;
            ValidateButton();
        }
 
        private void ValidateButton()
        {
            this.newlocaBtn.Enabled = (bool)locacodeBox.Tag;
        }

But now i want to add the condition where both the combobox and textbox is also not empty then the button will enable...how can i do so?

A few points:

1) TextBox textBox = sender as TextBox;

You have cast the sender to a TextBox yet you never use it.

2) That looks like a really bad way to use a Tag. Why not have something more like this:

2)

private void locacodeBox_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   if((String.IsNullOrEmpty(this.textbox.Text) && String.IsNullOrEmpty(this.locacodeBox.Text) == false)
   {
       this.newlocaBtn.Enabled = true;
   }
   else
   {
      this.newlocaBtn.Enabled = false;
   }
}
 

or

private void locacodeBox_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
       // Notice the ! to invert the result. If both are not empty...
       this.newlocaBtn.Enabled = !(String.IsNullOrEmpty(this.textbox.Text) && String.IsNullOrEmpty(this.locacodeBox.Text);
}

Thanks IanWright for your suggestions.

But currently the button enable is still not based on when the comboBox and twxtBox is not empty.

I've accomplish my goal in this code but I'm sure there is a shorter and easier way to the solution.

        public Boolean validatetext;
        public Boolean validacombobox;
 
 
private void locacodeBox_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e) 
{
    if (textBox1.Text.Length == 0)
        validatetext = false;
    else
        validatetext = true;
    ValidateButton(); 
}
 
private void comboBox1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (comboBox1.Text.Length == 0)
        validacombobox = false;
    else
        validacombobox = true;
    ValidateButton();
}
 
private void ValidateButton()
{
    if (validacombobox == true && validatetext == true)
        this.button2.Enabled = true; 
    else
        this.button2.Enabled = false; 
}

button2.Enabled = comboBo1.SelectedItem > -1 && string.IsNullOrEmpty(TextBox1.Text);
