LostFocus events *never* fire

My app needs to use the LostFocus event on several different controls on a
form. Unfortunately, I got done coding it only to find out that none of
them ever fire. They are assigned to, and I'm sure I'm doing everything
right, but they're not working. Anyone else have this problem/know how to
fix it?

Try using the Leave event.

That works. Still don't understand why LostFocus doesn't though. Thanks.

I have a datagrid tied to a data adapter. Everything works great, EXCEPT, the LostFocus event only fires when I click on a specific cell within the DataGrid. If I set focus on another control, the LostFocus event does not fire. This is causing problems because I am checking for HasChanged on every CurrentCellChanged event. So if I change a cell, move to a new row, the update occurs just fine. However, if I change a cell, then set the...

All - I am in the process of developing a custom control that mimics the Office 2003 "Inbox" as closely as possible. After a great deal of frustrating work trying to do a heavily custom-drawn ListView (which is how I believe MS is doing it) and getting nowhere, I said "screw it" and built the thing from scratch. I have a UserControl with a few contained controls, a header control I'm drawing entirely by hand, and a Panel in which I'm...

I am using Managed C++ with a CFormView and a MaskedTextBox and have used MAKE_DELEGATE to sink the LostFocus event of this control. I have other events I've sinked off this control and they all work fine, however, the LostFocus does not fire. I found Scribble online and they do the same thing I did, however, when I used this code in Visual Studio 2005 the LostFocus event didn't get fired either.

WINDOWS FORMS I've a form that has a textbox that allows the user to enter a string. On the LostFocus event, the textbox formats the string into a preferred format. However, if the user presses the "Save" button while the textbox has the focus, the LostFocus code doesn't run at the right time, so that the "Save" function is dealing with an incorrectly formatted string and the whole caboodle goes splat.

I started with a System.Windows.Forms.Form and subscribed to its LostFocus event. The event fires perfect. I added a System.Windows.Forms.LinkLabel to the aforementioned Form and tested the same LostFocus event again. It does not fire any longer. If I remove the LinkLabel, LostFocus fires again. Why does this fail and how can I get LostFocus to fire for the container Form with a LinkLabel present?

I have a c# 3.5 wpf app which uses user controls for data entry screens. These data entry screens can be nested inside of each. We can also have several ones open side by side at the same time. All are in a single window. My challenge is to know when a data entry screen (UC) becomes the active control, and when the active user control looses focus and when the next one gets the focus, and so on. When a user control gets or looses...
