Errorprovider in Tabcontrol

[Krijn]

Hello,

Has anyone tried to use the errorprovider in a tabcontrol using columnerrors in datarows ? I think I doesnt work.

Is it because Tabcontrol doesnt implement Icontainercontrol ?

Ive created a custom tabcontrol witch implements Icontainercontrol but when I set the property .net gives errors.

My first guess was to use the errorprovider with the tabPage (not the tabControl). Have you tried that?

Yes,

but the only components that implement icontainercontrol are Form, Usercontrol.

Errorprovider.containercontrol = Tabpage gives following error:

Tabpage cannot be converted to containercontrol

Huh.
It never happened to me that I had to set the ContainerControl property manually.

I just dragged to ErrorProvider on to the form an the used. . .
(Phew, sorry try to recall this from heart, no code access ...)

errorprovider.seterror (contol, msg)

Hi,

For heiko : i use SetColumnError on the datarow. But you are right: the problem was somewhere else.

Ive set databindings manually with something like next line :

textBox1.databindings.add("Text",Me.dataSet1.Table1,"Column_name")

This works.., but not for an errorprovider.

Solution :

Textbox1.databindings.add("Text",Me.dataSet1,"Table1.column_name")


Think there is still work to do for microsoft !

Thanks all
