Clicking on an ErrorProvider

[Becks25Not]

Hi All,

I am using an error provider. I am having the problem that when you click on it, it no longer shows the tooltip. There is not an on click event to prevent this from happening. I tried resetting the error provider in the form's click event but that did not work. Any ideas?

Thanks!!

Not perfect, but this is as close as I can get to what you are looking for:

	Private Sub TextBox1_Leave(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.Leave

		If TextBox1.Text <> "Fred" Then
			ErrorProvider1.SetError(TextBox1, "You must type Fred")
		Else
			ErrorProvider1.SetError(TextBox1, "")
		End If

	End Sub


	Private Sub TextBox2_Leave(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox2.Leave

		If TextBox2.Text <> "Fred" Then
			ErrorProvider1.SetError(TextBox2, "You must type Bloggs")
		Else
			ErrorProvider1.SetError(TextBox1, "")
		End If

	End Sub

	Private Sub Form3_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Click

		For Each ctrl As Control In Me.Controls
			If ErrorProvider1.GetError(ctrl) <> "" Then
				Dim s As String = ErrorProvider1.GetError(ctrl)
				ErrorProvider1.SetError(ctrl, "")
				ErrorProvider1.SetError(ctrl, s)
			End If
		Next

	End Sub

Simply resetting the error, as you say, doesn't seem to work, however, I save the text associated with the control's error provider, then clear the error and then reset the error - which seems to do the trick (but does, of course, require clicking on the form). You could also use the same code in a button (btnReShowErrors).


Hope this helps.
