Ah, that explains things! (I think...) I have been using the
control on a panel, not a dialog, so .Validate() wasn't getting
called. When I put one on a dialog, voila! It fires.

(I forgot about the "overview" section; I was looking at the
doc for .Validate(), and it said nothing about this-- my bad.)

Thank you for the clarification!

You can also cause all the controls to validate by calling the panel's Validate() method.
