I'm working on a form with multiple checkboxes. I have hooked the validated event to all the boxes. My problem occurs with the last checkbox that is clicked. After the user clicks the box and later the save button the validated event does not fire for this box. I tried putting the focus on another control as the first step in the save call, but still no luck.

I do not want to use the CheckedChanged because when I load the form it gets called when I'm setting the values from the object, and it loops the update to the object again making the object dirty.

Your help is much appreciated.

Thank you.

I can think of two things:

1. If it is an ordinary button, the CausesValidation property of the Button might be false. This is not the default, but verify.

2. if it is a toolbar button, these do not validate and there is no CausesValidation property. You can force validation in the ToolClick handler by calling the Form's Validate method.

Thanks for your answer. Your second solutions is what I'm doing now.
