Valid Event

Occurs before a control loses the focus.

PROCEDURE Control.Valid
[LPARAMETERS nIndex]

Parameters

  • nIndex
    Uniquely identifies a control if it is in a control array.

Remarks

If the Valid event returns true (.T.), the control can lose focus - focus might not pass to another control. If the Valid event returns false (.F.), the control does not lose focus.

The Valid event can also return a numeric value. Returning a numeric value has one of three effects:

  • If 0 is returned, the control does not lose focus.
  • If a positive value is returned, the value specifies the number of controls the focus advances. For example, if the Valid event returns 1, the next control gets the focus.
  • If a negative value is returned, the value specifies the number of controls the focus moves back. For example, if the Valid event returns –1, the previous control gets the focus.
