ErrorProvider

[artteam]

Hi All,
I have used errorProvider to validate the text in the textboxes. One among them is that it does not allow the user to enter empty string.But when I click the close button on the form it does not close instead the errorProvider pops up validating for the text(As the textbox is left blank).Is there a property to disbale or to make it inactive?

Thank You in advance.

If you use the warningProvider , you may want to clear it by setting it to "", after checking whether the control is valid. Here is an article that may help:
ErrorProvider as a 'Warning Provider'

Hi,

But I do not have to check for the validation when the user is trying to close the form without entering any text into any of the textfields. And this happening with respect to only one textform. And the close button is not bothered with other textboxes on the form. If i enter some value in that textbox then the form closes.

Please help me out!!!

You are having a problem with errorProvider trying to validate the empty textbox and not allowing the form to be closed... Therefore you need a way to clear it before closing, hence the suggestion. Do you have other textboxes that do not allow empty strings?

Yes you are right.We cleared the errorProvider before closing the form.Thank you very much for your suggestion.

have you tried this one?:
if txtbox1.text="" then
errorprovider1. seterror("txtbo x1, "The txtbox should not be left blanck!")

else ' to set the error off
errorprovider1. seterror(txtbox 1,"")
end if
