Is it possible to know when TextBox loses focus to which object it

[Gidi]

Hi,

Is it possible to know when TextBox loses focus to which object it lost it?
what i mean is when the LostFocus Event occur is it possible to know which
object got the focus instead?

thanks,

Hi Gidi,

I believe you will need to traverse all the controls to see which one has the Focused property set.

private void textBox_LostFocus(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
foreach(Control c in this.Controls)
{
if(c.Focused)
label1.Text = c.Name;
}
}

Of course, if you got any container controls with child controls inside you will need to do it recursively or, when creating the Form, add all 'focusable' controls to a list of your own.

better would be to use the ActiveControl property of
System.Windows.Forms.Form class.

Well, the ActiveControl property is good if you use TAB to change between Controls. However, if the user left-clicks on another control, the ActiveControl will not be updated before LostFocus is triggered.
