Need inspiration for a pretty simple problem

[TheBionicOrange]

1. I have an array of 6 textboxes.
2. On the "LostFocus" event I call a check routine. If criteria is met in this routine then I enable a "Submit" button.


The problem/issue I have is this .....

Either :

a) Because the enabled property of the "Submit" button is being set to true AFTER I move off textbox number 6, i.e. in the lostfocus event, the focus has moved to my "Clear" button. I don't want this. I want the focus to be on the "Submit" button.

b) If I put a "SubmitButton.SetFocus" in the check routine, assuming all is ok, then what happens when you Shift/TAB off of the submit button it goes to textbox 6. Great. If you Shift/TAB again it fires the LostFocus event, which in turn matches the criteria, which in turn set the focus back on the "Submit button", so thats obviously less than ideal.

I hope I haven't made this sound confusing.
There HAS to be a simple solution.

Any takers ?

Using the "CausesValidation" property and shoving my code in the Validate event sorts me out.

I KNEW there was a simple answer

Is it resolved then?

It is now.

I did put a "Resolved" tick against the thread.
