Textbox Validation

[johnc83]

Hi all,

I have an annoying problem and would appreciate help please..

My textbox is bound to a numeric table field. If a user types in something other than a number then it won't let them leave the box.

Don't get me wrong, validation is a necessary thing but I would like the user to have the option of pressing escape or something like that to cancel his changes and carry on with his work, instead of being forced to enter a (possibly wrong) value just to get going again.

Could someone tell me how they would handle a situation like this please?
Thanks

On text enter, save value.

On text change, validate entries.

On text leave(or esc/tab), if not valid revert to old value.

-Sometimes the answer to your question is the hack that works
