Dear Vixens and Reynards:
More slow progress on grids.
I realised that I had fallen on my old habit of using .valid
and decided to use .lostfocus instead for control-level
validation. It works except...
The control does not display input the second time.
I enter an invalid value then tab. I get the error
message. At this point, the focus should be on the error control
and I should be able to enter another value. The focus is there,
but the characters that I then type are not displayed. When I tab
out, they do show up.
What am I overlooking here?
I was unable to find a clean solution and no one posted
anything relevant so I got to kludge. What fun!
When I throw an error, I also set a form-level flag that there
is a grid error and now how many times to ignore validation (2). I
then keyboard tab and backtab. (This will change to what I need to
avoid disturbing the display (as best I can)). My field validation
code checks if there is an error, decrements the count, and if the
count is still positive, skips the validation or does the validation
when the count is zero.
A <redundancy>horrible</> kludge, but it appears to work.
<SIGH> I really wish that I did not have to fight VFP so much.
Sincerely,
Gene Wirchenko
