Lostfocus on Optiongroup

[JackTheC]

Ever needed a Lostfocus event/method on an Optiongroup control? Well, there is no.

But you can simulate it in this way:
Put the Optiongroup inside a Container control with BorderWidth=0, making the Container invisible.
The Container has a Lostfocus event firing when the Optiongroup is losing focus to another control.

The same goes for the Gotfocus event/method.

I never needed a Container control on a form before, but in this case it comes in handy.

Hello,

you are correct, thanks.
Or maybe you can use the .valid()

This could be worth knowing.

The individual option buttons have a LostFocus, but of course that's not the same thing as for the group as a whole.

No the .valid event fires when you click an option. Not when the focus leaves the optiongroup, with or without changing the value.
