CausesValidation Property
Returns or sets a value that determines whether the Validate event will occur on a second control from which the second control's focus is being shifted.
Syntax
object.CausesValidation [ = boolean]
The CausesValidation property syntax has these parts:
| Part | Description |
| object | An object expression that evaluates to an object in the Applies To list. |
| boolean | A Boolean expression that specifies whether the control from which the focus is being shifted fires the Validate event. |
Settings
The settings for boolean are:
| Setting | Description |
| True | (Default) The control from which the focus has shifted fires its Validate event. |
| False | The control from which the focus has shifted does not fire its Validate event. |
Remarks
The CausesValidation property works in tandem with the Validate event to limit when a control can lose focus.
