FoxPro Gotcha?

[Redsz]

I just came accross an error that has me quite confused. I am performing a check on a user entered value in a text box. There is a save and a revert button. These buttons are a custom class that are an image contained inside a container and again the container is contained inside a pageframe. When i click with the mouse on these controls the valid event in the text box fires. These controls also have an on key label attached to them. Ie. F2 = Save.

When F2 is pressed the valid event code does not fire. I have tried moving this code to the lostfocus but the same thing occurs????

any ideas?

the press of the F2 key does not change the state of the control so the code does not fire. However sliding the mouse over the control and then clicking is equivilent to pressing the enter key. It changes the state of the control and thus forces an evaluation of the event.

Lostfocus occurs only when focus leaves your control. You would have to send the focus elsewhere on your form to get it to fire.

either locate your validation code as a function within a prg or as new event to the form and then call the function.
