Problem with dates on textfields

Dealy

Hello,

I have this problem with textboxes. For example in a textbox with value 2000/1/1, when i leave the textbox blank i cannot move the cursor to other textbox or close the form.

Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance.

Why are you unable to "move the cursor to other textbox or close the form"? What happens? Probably it is caused by something you did in your code, so unless you tell us what that is, we cannot tell you how to fix it. So even if you cannot tell us what it is that you did to cause the problem, at least tell us what happens so we can help you to figure it out.

Kirtan first of all thanks for the answer,
what i want to do though is to be able to get null values, not to obligate user to insert a date.

you need to code in TextBox's leave Event and Form's Closing event like below ..

private void textBox1_Leave(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

            if (textBox1.Text.Trim() == "")

            {

                MessageBox.Show("You can not leave it Blank !!");

                textBox1.Focus();

            }

        }

        private void Form1_FormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e)

        {

            if (textBox1.Text.Trim() == "")

            {

                MessageBox.Show("You can not leave it Blank !!");

                textBox1.Focus();

                //Cancel Closing of Form

                e.Cancel = true;

            }

        }
