Hi Yosi,

I see nothing wrong with your code.
If you copy those lines into a new blank Windows Form, do you get the same
(no event fired)?
If not, something else in your code is interfering, if you do you might
want to reinstall .net.

PS! The Enter/Leave events are for regular controls and should not be
used for Windows Forms, instead use the Activated/Deactivate events.

Hi,
I think I remember that somewhere in the documentation it says that
Form.Focus will not be fired when a control is added, In the MSDN from
form.focus says the same that morten said, use Activate
FROM MSDN:
Note The GotFocus and LostFocus events are low-level focus events that are
tied to the WM_KILLFOCUS and WM_SETFOCUS Windows messages. Typically, the
GotFocus and LostFocus events are only used when updating UICues. The Enter
and Leave events should be used for all controls except the Form class,
which uses the Activated and Deactivate events. For more information about
the GotFocus and LostFocus events, see the WM_SETFOCUS and WM_KILLFOCUS
topics in the Keyboard Input Reference section of the Platform SDK
Documentation in the MSDN Library.
Anyway I'm sure that I read somewhere explicitely they will not get fired,
use Activate/Deactivate instead

cheers,

Is there a way to catch these events at a higher level? I want to know
whenever any application is launched, focused, or exited, without having to
attach a form focus handler to each possible form. I really just want the
Windows Task Manager information as it happens. Is this possible? If so,
can you direct me to the API or sample code in C#?
