Making the ErrorProvider Go Away

[BobbyBaldEage]

I'm loading an errorprovider when the user inputs the wrong data!

GREAT - that bit is working just fine. The little red icon appears beside the txtEmail field.



But when the user re-enters the email, in the correct format, I can’t seem to make the icon disappear!



Any suggestions?

To Clear the ErrorProvider

If your erroprovider object is ErrorProvider1, clear the icon with the following code :

ErrorProvider1.SetError(txtEmail,"")

Hi Bob,
Thanks for that! I tried the code you suggested but it still didnt work. I'm working on a windows app....could it be a bug??? It seems to hang in memory. I cant even dispose of it, set it to nothing etc

Me.ErrorProvider1.SetError(txtEmail, "")

Me.ErrorProvider1.SetError(txtEmail, String.Empty)

Me.ErrorProvider1 = Nothing

Me.ErrorProvider1.Dispose()

Me.ErrorProvider1.Icon.Dispose()


HELP!!!

Error Provider

Hello Bobby,

Please try this sub included in the zip example attached, hope it helps :

Private Sub TextBox1_KeyPress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.KeyPressEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.KeyPress

​

If Char.IsDigit(e.KeyChar) Then

ErrorProvider1.SetError(TextBox1, "")

​

Else

ErrorProvider1.SetError(TextBox1, "Please enter a decimal number")

e.Handled =​

True

​

End If

​

End Sub
