Question Textbox ontextchange problem

[the_atom]

I have a code that must be executed when the value of the textbox changes, however the code executes on every character that i input. Is there a work around this?

I feel that I must point this out:

DUH!

If you input characters one at a time then the text is changed after each character, therefor the TextChanged event runs after each keypress.

What you may want to do is look into Validating the text in the textbox, since it sounds like you're doing validation on the data in the textbox

This is very good idea, but i have to execute event on textbox change. Textbox validation causes only the field to validate its content. What i need is some kind of auto validation.

Use the TB's Leave event to call the TB's validate method which'll run the Validating event code

Is there a way that i can auto leave the TB?

Sure, use the Focus() method on another control or simply move to the next control in the tab order: http://www.vbdotnetforums.com/showthread.php?t=27875
