How can I bypass the "Validating" event when a certain button is clicked?

[emaduddeen]

Hi Everyone,

In my form there is a "Validating" event on a textbox.

This form also has a "Cancel" button.

Is there a way to not execute the "Validating" event when the user clicks on the "Cancel" button?

Please show me code to do this.

Thanks.

Truly,
Emad

See if this helps for bypassing the Validation of a TextBox.
1 TextBox, 1 Button

Public Class Form1
    Private bValidateTextBox As Boolean = True

    Private Sub Button1_MouseEnter(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.MouseEnter
        bValidateTextBox = False '// Disable Validation.
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button1_MouseLeave(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.MouseLeave
        bValidateTextBox = True '// Enable Validation.
    End Sub

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        '// do stuff here.
        MsgBox("TextBox Validation was Canceled") '// for testing.
    End Sub

    Private Sub TextBox1_Validating(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.Validating
        If bValidateTextBox Then
            '// validating code here.
            MsgBox(TextBox1.Text) '// for testing.
        End If
    End Sub
End Class
