ErrorProvider question...

I have a form with a bunch of textboxes. Each text box gets validated
with the ErrorProvider. I want the form to process something ONLY when
ALL the textboxes are valid.
I found a solution, but it seems like a workaround. I'm not sure if
it's the best way:

Dim ErrorCounter As Integer

Private Sub btnOK_Click(ByV al sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles btnOK.Click
If TextBox1.Text = "" Then
ErrorProvider1. SetError(TextBo x1, "Error")
ErrorCounter += 1
Else
ErrorProvider1. SetError(TextBo x1, "")
End If

If TextBox2.Text = "" Then
ErrorProvider1. SetError(TextBo x2, "Error2")
ErrorCounter += 1
Else
ErrorProvider1. SetError(TextBo x2, "")
End If

If ErrorCounter = 0 Then
'process code that only happens when there are NO errors
End If
End Sub
Is this a good way to handle it, or am I missing a better technique?

Thanks!
John

Hello John,

If TextBox2.Text = "" Then
ErrorProvider1. SetError(TextBo x2, "Error2")
ErrorCounter += 1
Else
ErrorProvider1. SetError(TextBo x2, "")
End If

If ErrorCounter = 0 Then

I have no better idea _ seems this is OK.

I am using an errorprovider and a datagrid component on a form. I use the errorprovider to display error hints in the grid, in the case the entered data by the user is checked and not found Ok. After the data is corrected, the hint does not disappear ! (the exclamation mark however, does disappear). For Microsoft: If I'm correct, and it is a bug, can it be corrected ?

I read the following - regarding the ErrorProvider control - in the MOC Course Material for course 2373: "You can set your own error messages manually, as shown in the following example, or when working with bound data, you set the DataSource propertyof the ErrorProvider to automatically pick error messages up from thedatabase." So, basically I want the ErrorProvider to automatically pick up database errors, but have so far had no...

I'm having problems using the errorprovider in VB.NET to automatically display an error icon next to textboxes bound to the same dataset as the errorprovider. The sequence of events is : Build a dataset containing a single table. Bind the textboxes on a windows form to the datatable. Bind the errorprovider control to the same datatable. Use SetColumnError to create an error condition in the datatable.

I have the following issues: 1. I want to make it so that ToolTips never go away once they are shown until the user moves the mouse outside of the control for which the ToolTip is assigned. It seems to me that setting the ToolTip.AutoPopDelay to a large value (e.g., Int32.MaxValue) should acomplish this goal, but it does not. 2. I want to make it so that the ErrorProvider message is always displayed when the mouse is over the...

How do I capture the hover event on the ErrorProvider control? I created a custom control and inherited the ErrorProvider. Problem is I don't know which method to override to capture the hover event. I want to popup a custom form instead of the default tooltip. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Christian
