I have a textbox the content of which I need to validate once the user
has updated it in the _AfterUpdate event.If a character is invalid, I
highlight it and display an error message in a label control. E.G.
tbInput.SelStart = i - 1
tbInput.SelLength = 1
and try to give it the focus:
tbInput.SetFocus
Although the invalid character is highlighted, the user must use the
tab key before being able to overtype the character or delete it. How
can I avoid forcing the user to press the tab key first?
I have a sample spreadsheet illustrating the problem available at
