Hi shvanwijlen,<br />
Declare global var that will indicate that cancel button was pressed<br />
<br />
Dim bWasCanceled as Boolean<br />
<br />
<br />
Private Sub btnCancel_Click()<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;bWasCanceled &nbsp; = True<br />
<br />
' .... rest of your code if any<br />
<br />
End Sub<br />
<br />
Private Sub YourControl_LostFocus()<br />
<br />
If bWasCanceled Then Exit Sub<br />
<br />
'.... your validation code<br />
<br />
End sub <br />
<br />
Cheers!

go &nbsp;with Erick37 .<br />
I dont believe michaels approach would work since the lost focus event would in fact invoke before the click event of the cancel button

RussellMartin is right, &nbsp;forget my post<br />

I am using this technique &nbsp;sometime but never with LostFocus event,<br />
<br />
Sorry

Hi,<br />
<br />
I have a nr of fields on my form that I validate via a lostfocus event. But, when I click the cancel-button, I want to exit straight away and ignore those events. Is that possibe?<br />
I can add a line to each lostfocus event like &quot;if combo1.text = &quot;&quot;&nbsp;then do nothing&quot;, but I'd like to think there is a more generic way...<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />

Hi,

I have a nr of fields on my form that I validate via a lostfocus event. But, when I click the cancel-button, I want to exit straight away and ignore those events. Is that possibe?
I can add a line to each lostfocus event like "if combo1.text = "" then do nothing", but I'd like to think there is a more generic way...

Thanks,

Ignore lostfocus event when a cancel button is pressed

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
