How can I: Create a dynamic ErrorProvider?

Gustavo

Hello:

I need to pass/update/set an ErrorProvider. Here is my case:

I have a MDIParent that calls a MDIChild. The MDIChild has Controls for the Enter and Leave Events for all TextBoxs. The Leave Event in the Control calls a Class that will do the validation. In the ClassValidation I can use the
((TextBox)sender).Focus(); to set the focus to the invalid TextBox (It works fine).

Is there a way I can set the ErrorProvider in sort of the same way?

Something like this: ???
_______.errorProviderICEPack.SetError(((TextBox)sender), TheError);

Where the _______ is the name of the Form that the control was called from.

Hi,
What about below by passing error provider?
public void MyValidation(Control ctrl, ErrorProvider errorProvider)
        {
            errorProvider.SetError(ctrl, "Wrong");
        }
and calling like below
cls.Test(textBox1, this.errorProvider1);
