[Gambas-user] Stopping an event when user clicks on the form menu

[Fabien Bodard]

This is how to do with svn version ...


Public Sub Form_Open()
Balloon.Delay = 1000
End

Public Sub TextBox1_LostFocus()

 If IsNull(Application.ActiveControl) Then Return

 If Len(Last.Text) < 8 Then

   Balloon.Error("this must be filled before anything else", Last)
   TextBox1.Select()
   Last.SetFocus

 Endif
End


I  don't know if Application.ActiveControl is in the last 3.5
packages, but it is what you need.
