Errorprovider shows error on using windows close button(X)
- by Pankaj Kumar
Hi guys,
Is there any way to turn the damned error provider off when i try to close the form using the windows close button(X). It fires the validation and the user has to fill all the fields before he can close the form..this will be a usability issue because many tend to close the form using the (X) button.
i have placed a button for cancel with causes validation to false and it also fires a validation.
i found someone saying that if you use Form.Close() function validations are run...
how can i get past this annoying feature.
i have a MDI sturucture and show the form using
CreateExam.MdiParent = Me
CreateExam.Show()
on the mdi parent's menuitem click
and have this as set validation
Private Sub TextBox1_Validating(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.Validating
If String.IsNullOrEmpty(TextBox1.Text) Then
Err.SetError(TextBox1, "required")
e.Cancel = True
End If
If TextBox1.Text.Contains("'") Then
Err.SetError(TextBox1, "Invalid Char")
e.Cancel = True
End If
End Sub
Any help is much appreciated.
googling only showed results where users were having problem using a command button as close button and that too is causing problem in my case
