Dear Vixens and Reynards:

The scenario: you have a form with a grid on it. The user closes the form. There is a validation error, and in that case, you want the form to not close.

My solution was to add a property to the form called .griderror. In the controls that I use in the grid, the validation starts by setting .griderror to .f. and then does the validation. If there is an error, it sets .griderror to .t.. The form's .queryunload checks if .griderror is .t.. If it is, then the form close is cancelled (or the exit is confirmed, etc.).

This works in my limited testing. I does seem somewhat of a kludge. Is this a good way to handle it, or is there something better that I have overlooked?

Sincerely,

Gene Wirchenko
