Stop Valid event firing

Question

I need to stop Textbox Valid event firing when releasing the form. The problem is my form has a cancel button to release the form. If the focus is on textbox and when I try to click on Cancel then the textbox valid event fires.

Is there any direct way to stop that?

Answer 1

Hello, I check in valid whether an object with CANCEL=.t. (button property) was clicked. Like this in the valid event : Local oob oob=Sys(1270) If Lastkey()==27 .Or. (Type("oob.cancel")=="L" .And. oob.Cancel==.T. Return .T. ENDIF Other check code Return checkerg HTH Tom

Answer 2

Checking Lastekey()=27 is sufficient, becuase a button with Cancel=.T. will cause that ESC key pressed, too.

But otherwise Tom has given you the answer, skip the valid check, if Lastkey()=27.

Bye, Olaf.
