Form Control Validating Event

[RileyCat]

I have a "Validating" event on a text box. The problem I'm having is, if the user presses the <Cancel> or <Exit> button on my form I don't want the validating function to happen.

How can I identify if the user is in the validating function because of a <Cancel> or <Exit> button and not fire off the validating error?

Stay Cool Ya'll!

you can raise a Flag when the cancel or exit button is hit.
(ie in the button_click event)

then inside the validating error event subroutine check for the Flag.if Flag is raised then exit the subroutine or else execute the validation for textbox

Set the CausesValidation property of your <Cancel> or <Exit> buttons to False.
