Make a text box mandatory

Re: Make a text box mandatory
Here is a good place to start to learn how to validate a form based on its contents. There are a number of techniques described and some very good examples.

Since you are new to forms I recommend reading some of the other articles listed in the left menu. They will help you get up to speed with forms fairly quickly.
The simple answer to your question is to use the textbox "Validating" event to cancel the button event. The exact method of validation is a design choice which depends on the form design you are using.
