If user enters these values then you will need to use the DataGridView1_CellValueChanged event and then evaulate what the user has entered. Private Sub DataGridView1_CellContentClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.DataGridViewCellEventArgs) Handles DataGridView1.CellContentClick If e.ColumnIndex = 2 Then 'assuming this is your column number for store, development agent, previous owner 'then show your error message if not enter what is required End If End Sub if the values are coming from the database only then you need to re-look at your database query.

hm that the way i have done too. the name of the control was "ASKButton" i have set the text property to "Add" then compile the project and drag drop the button control on the form and what i see is that the button text property is "ASkButton1". i want to set the default value for this button. when ever i drag and drop this button it should show me the Text=Add and when i want to change it, it should allow me to do so!

Hi, use the Description attribute. You may also want to check out the Category and DefaultValue attributes, e.g. <Description("example property"), DefaultValue(1), Category("Testing")> All these attributes are in the System.ComponentModel namespace "An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind"

Then you mess around until you get it right. Private Sub txt_KeyUp(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyEventArgs) Handles txt.KeyUp If e.KeyCode = Keys.F1 Then Dim x, y As Integer Dim r As Rectangle = txt.RectangleToScreen(txt.Bounds) x = (r.Left - txt.Left) + txt.Width y = (r.Bottom - txt.Top) - txt.Height Help.ShowPopup(Me.txt, "Help is at hand", New Point(x, y)) End If End Sub
