BUG: Setting Focus to a Masked Edit Control Causes Error

MORE INFORMATION

Steps to Reproduce Problem

1. Start a new project in Visual Basic. Form1 is created by default. Place a Masked Edit control and a Command button on to Form1.
2. Switch to the Properties window for the Masked Edit control, and change the Mask to #.
3. In the Click event for the Command button, place the following code:

      Private Sub Command1_Click()
   
      MaskEdBox1.SetFocus
   
      End Sub
   						

4. In the ValidationError event for the Masked Edit control, enter the following code:

      Private Sub MaskEdBox1_ValidationError(InvalidText As String, _
   
      StartPosition As Integer)
   
          MsgBox "You are typing in the wrong stuff"
   
      End Sub
   						

5. Run the project by clicking F5. Click on the Command button and the Msgbox indicates that the ValidationError event was incorrectly fired.

   
   Private Sub MaskEdBox1_ValidationError(InvalidText As String, _
   
   StartPosition As Integer)
   
   If Mid$(InvalidText, StartPosition + 1, 1) <> MaskEdBox1.PromptChar Then
        
   MsgBox "You are typing in the wrong stuff"
   
   End If
   
   End Sub
