Leave textbox 1

[plsh]

Hi there,
I have a text box that when the user leaves I want to then populate a list box. At present I have the code workingperfectly on a button, but would prefer to have it fire as soon as the user leaves a text box. No matter what I do I can't get the event to work, it just ignores it all together.

Please I am going nuts.

what event do you use currently?

I am using the leave event, but I am not sure if the coding is corrent, do you possibly have an example?

 

[DaZZleD]

post the code please.

private void txtUniqueCode_Leave(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
int i=1;
while (i < lsPhase.Items.Count)
{
if (lsPhase.Items.ToString() == lsPhase.Items[i-1].ToString()) lsPhase.Items.RemoveAt(i);
else i++;
}
}

private void InitializeComponent()
{
this.txtUniqueCode.TextChanged += new System.EventHandler(this.txtUniqueCode_Leave);
}


I believe that in the InitializeComponent section it should rather read:
this.txtUniqueCode.Leave += new System.EventHandler(this.txtUniqueCode_Leave);

or something like that but there is no option for Leave.

Sorry I am new to c#

Sorry, I am developing a c# .NET web application, any idea how I can do what I want in .NET

set the autopostback property of the textbox to true

Thanks I have now set that property. Should the rest of my code be correct? Or is there something else that needs to be changed?

 

[DaZZleD]

you should move your code in the event that is generated by VS on double clicking the textbox (textchanged)
