Are there any other things that I have to watch for using this way of
handling validation? (I am remembering now why I went with a button
toolbar (to allow exiting a form when the current entry control has an
invalid value), but there are probably other traps.)
Toolbars and the controls on them cannot* get focus. Therefore if the user
is able to exit by clicking a toolbar button, the LostFocus() of whatever
control had focus at that time may not fire. If the button they click is
the "Save" button, they can save invalid data.
This is one reason why I abandoned using toolbars.
* They aren't _supposed_ to be able to get focus. As I recall, there are
bizarrenesses with comboboxes on toolbars, and, perhaps, also with textboxes.
