Validating control content when loosing focus
-
Actually I have been programming for quit som years, but everytime I have to validate a control when I leave it I do some trial and error exploring. I like to know if somebody can tell me, whats the right strategi for doing this. Jørgen Granborg Jørgen Granbborg

How about the
WM_KILLFOCUSmessage?

Right so long so good, but how do I know where the focus vil go. If the user close the dialog or exit or switch to some other program, then I dont want to validate.
If the user dismisses the dialog, or switches to some other window, you don't need to validate any of the controls. The OK button should not be enabled until each control contains valid data.
