Greetings
I am sure this is a simple question. But I have "googled" it to death
and have only found one answer that involved a bunch of window's API
calls that I did not understand.
I am a student taking VB.NET and we are studying the Validation event
and how to use it on text boxs. I have set the forms.causevali dation
property to false. But if the user has bad data in the text box and
just wants to quit the program by clicking on the control box 'x' on the
upper right corner of the form they are stuck until they correct the
data in the text box. It appears some how the closing event is firing
some sort of validating event. I found a post from Herfried to set the
offending text box's causes validation to false in the form closing
event and that will work the second time the user tries to close the
form but not the first.
I do have the exit button working correctly, but that seems cheesy to me
to not be able to close the form.
Any ideas?
thanks
Bob

Hi Bob,
I know it is (if I understand you well) the e.cancel in the validating
event, that has to be set to true or false to in this kind of situations.
Only I once have took time to searched what it was, put it in this newsgroup
and suddenly it was disapeared.
I now have the feeling not to do it again, I only remember me that it was
what you not would expect so probably false.
So do me a favour, find it out what it is "true" or "false" and send that
back to this newsgroup in this thread.
If you don't succeed, message it, than I will look again
I hopes we help each other?

Yes that is exactly what I was talking about. How to stop the e.cancel
from being set to true in the text box validating event when I am
closing the form by way of the control box in upper right hand corner.

Sounds like the story of my life <grin>

I validate my textbox input data on its Validating-event. But what if the textbox has focus when I click on the windows close button? Then I dont want to validate - at least not until I've confirmed the 'Do you want to save your changes?' question
Since the textbox's Validating is fired before the form's Closing event, how can I cancel the Validating? Whats the best way to deal with this standard issue?

Under what circumstances would e.Cancel be set to True on entry to the
Closing event of an MDI child form?
I have found that this is why my application won't close properly. I can
explicitly set the value to False, but I would have expected it to be False
on entry.
TIA

I have a .NET 2.0 MDI application where the child form has a Tab
Control. Each of the Tab in the Tab Control has a Validating event to
handle what it should do when the user changes tabs.
But these Validating Events are also fired when either the child form
or the main (parent) form Close icon is clicked. And I need for these
events to know if they are being invoked because the app (or child
window) is being closed. I have set a boolean...

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
