Do Not Run LostFocus Code

[AngelB]

Hi All,
I have some code in the lost focus event of a text box on my form. If this control has the focus when the user clicks the close button of the form, the code in the lostfocus method is of course executed. I want the code to run if the user leaves the control by tabbing, hitting enter, clicking elsewhere etc. , but not if the user is exiting the form.

Any suggestions?
Most Grateful

Geraint Evans

Check the keystroke (in the lost focus event) and simply exit if it is not one of the above (KeyPress).


(you Can NOT not initiate the event routine if it is present. The only soloution will need to be to check the entry for conditions and either proceede or exit).

How are ya Geraint50 . . . . .

In the [blue]Unload[/blue] event of the form, [blue]move the focus to another control[/blue] . . .

Thanks for the replies guys,

AceMan, surely the LostFocus code from the textbox will still be executed? From the help files:

Order of events for controls on forms

Exit (control) --> LostFocus (control) -->
Unload (form) --> Deactivate (form) --> Close (form)

Thanks

I was thinking of something else. I remember something but can't put my finger onit yet. I have a too large a library to just guess. I'll post back if anything comes to light . . .

See Ya! . . . . . .
