application_development thread: RequiredFieldValidator equivalent!


Message #1 by "Mazen Alzogbi" <MAlzogbi@s...> on Wed, 5 Feb 2003 22:58:55 +0400
Hi,
I am not a WinForms app developer so bare with me :)
 
The RequiredFieldValidator control in ASP.NET allows me to validate the
content of any textbox control if entered or not. I want to achieve the
same with WinForms applications using C#. Well, I know the ErrorProvider
class but that doesn't help much. Let us say, I need a mechanism that
allows me to disable/enable an accept button (OK button) on the form
depending if required fields are filled or not. 
 
I know how to loop via all textbox controls but I am not going to do
this for every *form* in the project.
 
Did anyone achieve this before whether using custom or built-in
approach?
 
TIA,
 
Mazen
