Changing DataBound values w/o Changing Focus

Hello,

I hope the title explained our little predicament. We have some text boxes, some combo boxes, and a custom-built component bound to a Collection. Tabbing from field to field updates the data bindings just fine. However, we have some tool buttons that don't receive focus, and main menu items that also don't "take focus away" from a given control. We're having problems updating data bound values when the non-focused buttons are clicked, even though we are calling Form.CurrencyManager.EndEdit(). It may have something to do with the "hidden editors" on top of the other controls, but is there anything we can do to force the update

Thanks

For menu's that don't take focus you can use Form.Validate(). CurrencyManager.EndCurrentEdit() should work - it is possible you are not using the correct CurrencyManager though. In order to determine if that's your issue, I'd need to see how you are setting up data binding as well as how you are getting the CurrencyManager.

Thanks Joe! Form.Validate() did the trick.
