Dear Vixens and Reynards:
I am playing with handling validation by putting it in .LostFocus.
By accident, I ran into a problem when closing the form. If
the current control has validation on it, I get the validation
error. Then, the form stops.
I have been trying .ReleaseType, but it has issues (noted
below). How should I be using .ReleaseType, or is there a better way
to intercept that the user has clicked on the form's close button?
By using .ReleaseType, I can avoid this, but I am not sure that
I am using it right. What I do in my validation is check if
thisform.ReleaseType>0 and if so, bypassing the validation.
Since.ReleaseType does not appear to have a well-defined usual
value, I can not be sure that this is safe. For example, try this:
o=createobject("form")
? o.releasetype && prints 0
o.show
? o.releasetype && prints 1
This is without trying to close the form.
.ReleaseType is defined for use in .QueryUnload. Can I be sure
that it is safe to use in validation?
Sincerely,
Gene Wirchenko
