C# ErrorProvider Want to know if any are Active
- by RcK
I want to know if any ErrorProvider are active in my form.
being able to find this out might help reduce my code..
I did find this thing here Counting ErrorProvider
but incase someone knows a better way... so here goes.
Ok so basically I have a WinForm which has many TextBoxes
Now when user enters values I use Validating to perform validation and if it does not match Regex I set the ErrorProvider ON for that Control.. similarly if the user changes the value to a acceptable one I switch ErrorProvider OFF for that Control..
but when SAVE is clicked i have to do another check anyways incase the user did not listen to me and change the thing like he was supposed to and still clicked SAVE.. I dont want the thing crashing..
soo mm is there like a thing where I could say if ErrorProviders is not active then proceed with save else message box saying change it.
[ANOTHER QUESTION]
Umm When Validating it only Validates when the Control loses Focus... I kinda of want it to do validation when user stops typing.. I hope you get what I mean
Like Email Address(textbox) when user is typing his/her name in I [DON'T] want it to do validation yet, but when user has finished entering is waiting for ErrorProvider to disappear(But it doesn't coz it only does that when control loses focus) 2 odd seconds after typing can i make the validation take place?
