Textbox Modified Not Changed If Only One Character Is Changed

[Auguy]

The following code recognizes the text box was Modified when I change the entire value, but if I use the mouse to hi-lite one or more characters and change it, then modified is still false. Is that because I have it in the validated event?

  Private Sub txtDecimal_Validated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) _
    Handles txtUnitAmount.Validated, txtUnitPrincipal.Validated, txtUnitInterest.Validated
    Dim txtbox As TextBox
    txtbox = DirectCast(sender, TextBox)

    If txtbox.Modified Then
      ReCalcLine()
    End If
  End Sub

Try using the TextBox.TextChanged event to capture any changes in the Text property of a TextBox.

Doesn't that fire with every character that is input? I guess I could move the code to the Leave event. Still seems strange that modified doesn't get set to "Modified" when you change just one character.

Best way to know is to give it a try and see....
