Valid Event
Occurs before a control loses the focus.
PROCEDURE Control.Valid
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.
- 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.
