I have a couple of textboxes and datetimepicker that populates a given datagridview. I want to know if it will be possible to ensure that all textboxes on the user-form are filled bu the user. I want a pop-up message to show when some of these textboxes are not filled.

What I have tried:

I have so far tried to code all the textboxes but i am yet to give it a message alert to users to ensure that all textboxes are filled.

Yes it is possible.

You can only check this when the user takes some action to indicate that he/she thinks all information has been provided. For example pressing a button. At that point you just check each control to see if it contains what you want.

Thanks Richard. That's exactly what i want. Any idea about the codes that initiates these controls.

Sorry, I don't understand the question. Please edit your question and explain exactly what your code is trying to do.

You can use the controls Validating event to prevent the user leaving the field if it is not filled in correctly. You can add an ErrorProvider control to flag the control with a red icon and error message. Any button click calls a function to select each control in turn to trigger validation and return true if all is well.
