Errorprovider
Displays icons and error messages for controls with problems
- Start a new project
- Add a textbox and a button
- Add an errorProvider control
It is a Nonvisual control
- Add this code to the validating event
If TextBox1.Text <> "OpenSaysAMe" Then
ErrorProvider1.SetError(TextBox1, "Wrong password")
End If
To use errorProvider control:
call seterror and pass name of control with the error and the error message
at runtime, an error icon is displayed next to the control and a pop up tooltip over the icon
This is a better way to give user feedback
