Hello,
I have a WinForm application. The form has one Tab Control and one
ToolStrip. I would like to know what would be the best way to detect when
the user is "leaving" the Tab Control and "moving" into ToolStrip.
Thank you

You can handle the 'Leave' event of the TabControl to know when this object
loses focus and the 'Enter' event of the ToolStrip to know when the toolstrip
gets the focus.

Hello,
The leave on the Tab Control is not triggered when I press one of the
controls on the ToolStrip..... It only triggers when I switch tabs.
Thank you

I would expect the Enter and Leave events in the Control class to
provide that information. Is this not working for you?

But do you not get an Enter event for the ToolStrip?
It seems to me that if you don't get a Leave event for the Tab Control,
the technically the Tab Control hasn't actually lost focus. So in some
respect, you are asking the wrong question. Perhaps you should look
more closely at what UI changes actually occur when what you think is
focus changing happens.
All that said, there's always the WndProc. You can override the WndProc
for the Tab Control and see what messages are sent when the UI changes
in the way you want to detect (for example, use Debug.WriteLine () to
trace the message values). Then you can either take advantage of that
information to find a managed way to handle the change, or just keep the
WndProc overridden and watch for those same messages.

The TabControl is loosing the focus you are right.
Using the WndProc might be a good idea. How would one trap the WndProc
messages?
Thank you,

I read the article with the example for a form. How ever, how would I
overide the WndProc for a control (TabPage) on the form?
In my case, the form is defined as:
public partial class WeldProgramSetu p : Form
My TabControl is defined as:
private System.Windows. Forms.TabContro l tabControl_WP_C hannelInfo;
and my TabPage is defined as:
private System.Windows. Forms.TabPage tabPage_WP_Flow ;
Thank you,

I am working on a web form that contains a Calendar control with an
image button that makes the calendar appear and disappear. However, I
would like to set the visible property of the Calendar control to
false when the control loses focus so that when the user moves to the

this in ASP.NET or ASP.NET w/ Javascript?

I have a treeview where the user selects a node before editing it. The
problem is that when the user clicks on the text box to edit the node,
the treeview loses its focus and the node is no longer highlighted. To
fix this I do something like -
void treeView_AfterSelect(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
selectedNode.BackColor = Color.White;

How can I get an image to appear when a control has the focus in a form?
I would assume expression builder might be useful, but whenever I try to put an expression into an event box, it tries to find the expression as a macro title and fails.
(Also, I see Me comes up a lot in expressions, and wonder if that's why mine don't work... what does it mean??)

Is there a way to detect when a control gains focus on a webform? Say I
have two text boxes. After the user types in information on the first text
box and hits the tab key or clicks on the second text box, I want to
automatically fill in the second text box with the information from the
first text box.
I just can't seem to find an event handler for when the control gains/loses
focus.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
