Hello,
I have 10 textboxes on a form. I would like to validate
text-data entry on each textbox. I was looking for a
Form_Current event or Form_Change event but did not
recognize any such events. Or maybe there is a property
for the Textboxes where I can set data entry conditions?
Wondering about CausesValidatio n textbox property-how to
use.
I was thinking maybe I could create a custom form event
that would loop through an array of textboxes when the
event is raise and would check the content of each textbox
like as soon as the textbox loses focus. Is there such a
form event? Do I need to create one? How to create this
event and raise the event?
Thanks,

Hi Rich,
Did I not send you an example with that in it?
Set the handler for the lostfocus event?
Using an array of controls?
Cor
Yes you did. Thank you. Now I see an application for
this. I don't have dotnet loaded at the workplace (yet)
just at home. So have to wait to try the following, but
would something like this work?
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVa l sender As Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArg s) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim txtboxarea As TextBox() = New TextBox() {txt0,txt1,
txt2,txt3,...tx t10}
dim txt as TextBox
For Each txt In txtboxarea
AddHandler txt.LostFocus, AddressOf TextBox_LostFoc us
Next
End Sub
Private Sub TextBox_LostFoc us(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArg s)
DirectCast(send er, TextBox).Text = _
Trim(DirectCast (sender, TextBox).Text)
If sender.Name = "txt0" Then
If sender.Text < 1990 Or sender.Text > 2010 Then
sender.Text = ""
Beep()
MsgBox "Out of bounds!"
Else
If sender.Text > 1000 Then
sender.Text = ""
Beep()
MsgBox "Out of Bounds!"
End If
End Sub
---what's best way to invoke TextBox_LostFoc us? Can I
call the same TextBox_LostFoc us for each textbox or do I
have to make one for each textbox? Do I need to cast
sender.Text or do I need to change that to
DirectCast(send er, TextBox).Text < 1990 ...
Thank you always for your help,

Hi Rich,
When you do that directcast around all "sender" than I think something as
that yes.
You also can look at the "leave" event and the oposite from that "enter"

If I understand correctly then:
Private Sub TextBox_LostFoc us(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArg s)
DirectCast(send er, TextBox).Text = _
Trim(DirectCast (sender, TextBox).Text)
If (DirectCast(sen der, TextBox).Name = "txt0" Then
If DirectCast(send er, TextBox).Text < 1990 Or DirectCast
(sender, TextBox).Text > 2010 Then
DirectCast(send er, TextBox).Text = ""
Beep()
MsgBox "Out of bounds!"
Else
If DirectCast(send er, TextBox).Text > 1000 Then
DirectCast(send er, TextBox).Text = ""
Beep()
MsgBox "Out of Bounds!"
End If
End Sub
And I believe the opposite of "Enter" for VB would
be "Exit". So you suggest I could look at the "Leave"
or "Exit" events in the help files? I will have a look.
Many thanks for your suggestions.

Thank you for this explanation. So if I set
CausesValidatio n to False, how do I raise the validate

Can somebody clarify if/how/when a simple form is submitted when the <Enter>
key is pressed?
As I understood it, if you have a form with a single submit button, if enter
is pressed, the form should be submitted as if the button is pressed. Is
this correct?
Does this behaviour vary across browsers?

Hi,
I am new to this Forum. Thanks in advance for any kind help.
In the following HTML code, when I change the value of one text field
then click "Modify" button, if the validation fails a message will
popup and the cotent of the form should NOT be submitted. (The actual
code connects to the database at the backend so I can check if the
value is submmited).

I find that in a large form (especially if there is a table within the
form?) that the form is submitted to my server-side script even when a
JavaScript 'onsubmit' event handler returns 'false'.
does any one else have this problem, and is there a work-round?
