Firing an event when leaving a page in a form

[ralphcarter]

I have inherited a program that contains forms with multiple pages on each form. I need an event I can fire when leaving a page on the form. Would this be the deactivate event? I would like to do page validation among other things.

Thanks
Ralph

Well, you could just use the page's lost focus, or you could put in a custom method to call (as I have done) for both the "leaving" and "arriving" page. I have a method called "ActiveTab" and one called "DeactiveTab" that I can call when the tabs of the page frame change. Call it from the click event of the "Landing" page.


Best Regards,
Scott

Ralph,

I think what you really want is an event that fires when moving from one page to another. if that's right, the page's Deactivate is the one to go for.

Take care, deactivate method is a little dangerous. It fires also if you call for example any other (sub)form from your page.

Thanks everyone. It does appear that the deactivate event is what I'm looking for.
