On the 0x407 message, we need to reset the / public class ErrorProviderNativeWindowHook : NativeWindow

To replace the Microsoft ErrorProvider with ErrorProviderFixed, all you need to do is include the following code in your project in a file such as ErrorProviderFixed.cs. I would much prefer it if Microsoft could fix this bug. Note: “*the trick” as explained above re-enables the messages so that they display, but causes a slight flicker. When we need to, we reset the error provider messages (re: *the trick).

It looks at the ErrorProvider’s private member Windows and registers it with our own NativeWindow implementation, allowing us monitor its WinProc messages. The ErrorProviderFixed implementation, which follows, is a simple extension of the ErrorProvider.

I have discovered that setting a control's error message to '' and then resetting it, will allow the error message to be re-displayed ( the trick*). When you move the mouse off the error provider icon and return it will not re-appear. Next, click the mouse and the error message goes away. When you hover over the Microsoft error provider, the error message is displayed.
