On my form i currently have a textbox and im not quite understanding the changed event totaly, What im not getting is, is the event triggerd even if one key has been pressed when it has focus? what im trying todo is wait untill they have stoped typing in it for say 3 seconds befor i want todo something in the changed event, is there a way todo it simply?

The change event occurs each time the text in the control changes. So if the user presses a key that causes the text to change (like a letter or number), then the event will occur.

The only thing I can think of to accomplish what you need is to set up a timer when the text box gets focus (the Enter event) and the respond to the timer event instead of the change event.

Hope this helps.
