STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.

MORE INFORMATION

For example, consider the following scenario:
  • The form contains a UserControl control that is named UserControlA and a UserControl control that is named UserControlB.
  • UserControlA contains a TextBox control. The CancelEventArgs.Cancel property is set to True in the Validating event of the TextBox control.
  • UserControlB contains a Button control. An implementation of the Click event is provided for the Button control.
  • When you run the application, you set the focus to the TextBox control in the UserControlA control. Then, you click the Button control in the UserControlB control.
In this scenario, the Click event for the Button control in UserControlB occurs, even though you set the CancelEventArgs.Cancel property to True. The CancelEventArgs.Cancel property is in the Validating event of the TextBox control for the UserControlA control.
