Tab focus for error provider

Andria Jensen — Fri, 21 Jul 2006 16:39:40 GMT

If I have a form with multiple tabs on it, and there is an error on a tab not focused...is there a way to focus the tab with the error on it automatically?

Sure. Like I said, I did not test the code and you might have to make minor change here or there, but this should at least get you started.

Thanks Trent, I'll give that a try.

Right now there is not a way to do this automatically. But you can tie this in failry easy. Below is a sample of one possible way to achieve this. I did not test this code, but you should get the general idea.

Private Sub MyBO_BusinessRulesChecked(ByVal e As MicroFour.StrataFrame.Business.BusinessRulesCheckedEventArgs) Handles MyBO.BusinessRulesChecked

'-- Establish Locals
Dim loRule As MicroFour.StrataFrame.Business.BrokenRule
Dim loControl As System.Windows.Forms.Control

If e.CountOfBrokenRulesTotal > 0 Then

'-- Get the first broken rule
loRule = MyBO.BrokenRules.ToArray()(0)

'-- Cycle through all of the controls on the form
For Each loControl In Me.Controls
'-- See if the control supports the IBusinessBindable interface (SF Binding)
If loControl.GetType().GetInterface("IBusinessBindable") IsNot Nothing Then

'-- See if the control matches the field name in error
If CType(loControl, MicroFour.StrataFrame.UI.Windows.Forms.IBusinessBindable).BindingField.Equals(loRule.FieldName, StringComparison.OrdinalIgnoreCase) Then

'-- Set the focus
loControl.Focus()

'-- Exit the loop
Exit For

End If
End If
Next

End If

End Sub
