validating a textbox

Hello,
I have a text box called txtOrder and I wish to validate the entry that the user enters into it. The txtOrder_validated
event deals with this validation when the user presses enter and inputting data. However if the user enters a value and just clicks on another form for example what event of the text box is triggered. Is it the Leave event, if so how do I activate the leave event of the text box.

Regards

Robert

Hi Robert,

I think you mean Lostfocus?

'LostFocus' or 'Leave'. What's the problem in adding a handler to this
event?
