Re: edit control problem

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

I am a believer in realtime data validation. However, taking an action like this will be
disruptive to the user interface and would not be appropriate. Take a look at my
validating edit control on my MVP Tips site for an example of a highly-responsive edit
control but one which does not preempt the user by popping up a messagebox.

Well, I do have a reason. I want the user to do something else before they
actually enter any data in the edit box. I could wait and have them enter
an entire screen and wait for them to press the return key, but I wanted to
do whenever they were to press a key in the editbox. It seemed like the
best way to do it, but maybe I need to think of another way.

This is your problem. Why would you want to do this in OnEnChange...?
