Textbox values

I have the situation where on checking a checkbox focus is sent to a textbox and if the value of the textbox is not greater than zero ie if uninitialized or zero or empty then the user may not proceed until a valid value is placed in the textbox. Can anyone help!

Hi


This isn't exactly standard windows behavior and would involve some 'slimy hacks' to get it working the way you want.


Wouldn't it be better to disable the other controls until a value is entered into the Text Box (you could check the value in the _KeyUp event,


eg.


If Len(Text1.Text) = 0 Then ... nothings in the textbox


or


Dim lVal As Long


On Error Resume Next


lVal = CLng(Text1.Text)

If lVal = 0 Then ..... error


etc).
