How to skip Validating after clicking on a Form's Cancel button

Question

I use C#. I have a Windows Form with an edit box and a Cancel button. The edit box has code in validating event. The code is executed every time the edit box loses focus. Wh

Answer 1

In complement of the answer of Daniel Schaffer: if the validation occurs when the edit box loses focus, you can forbid the button to activate to bypass local validation and exit anyway.

public class UnselectableButton : Button
{
    public UnselectableButton()
    {
        this.SetStyle(ControlStyles.Selectable, false);
    }
}

or if you use DevExpress:

this.simpleButtonCancel.AllowFocus = false;

Note that doing so will change the keyboard experience: the tab will focus anymore on the cancel button.
