Hi,
I have an application that has (for the sake of argument) 2 (MDI) windows
open.
If I click into a textbox on FormA then the 'Enter' event for that TextBox
fires, great!
However, if I then click on FormB, then back to FormA although the cursor is
still flashing in the same textbox on FormA, when I tab out, the 'Leave'
event for that TextBox does not fire. If I stay on FormA and Shift-Tab back
into the textbox then the 'Enter' event fires again, then when tabbing out
again the 'Leave' event does fire this time...
Is this behaviour expected/normal, or am I doing somthing wrong. I will test
it with a couple of very simple forms if necessary, but thought I'd see if
people had any thoughts first :-)
Thanks,
Chris.

OK,
I did what I said, to test, I've made a very simple Windows App. 1 MDI
Parent containing 2 Children.
FormA has 2 TextBoxes and a ListBox, and I've wired it up so that it bangs
an 'In' or 'Out' into the ListBox everytime one of the TextBoxes (TextBoxA)
Enter or Leave Event fires. The following table shows what goes into the
list box for each of the following actions...
Tab To TextBoxB Out
Tab back to TextBoxA In
Tab to TextBoxB Out
Tab Back To 1st TextBoxA In
<So Far So Good>
Click on FormB Out, Out
<Not Sure I understand that?>
Click back on FormA In
FormB Out
FormA In
<Making sense apart from the 1st one>
If you're not following this, we are now back on the FormA in TextBoxA
Tab to TextBoxB <NOTHING!!>
<Focus moves to other TB, but Leave event doesn't fire!>>
Back to TextBoxA In
Back to other TextBoxB Out
Back to 1st TextBoxA In
Can anyone give me a logical explaination for this behaviour, and give me
some ideas bout how I can get it to work as required (Leave event ALWAYS
fires when TextBox loses focus).
Thanks,
Chris.

After a user enters data into a field, I need to populate other controls on
the form, based on the user entry. I have to use either Leave, Validating or
Validated, and I take it I can't use LostFocus because there is no selection
for that event in the dropdown list on the code page. What's happening is
that all 3 events mentioned above for the textbox control fire in the proper
order when the form is invoked, but don't fire the first time...

Hi,
I have a form with many textbox on it. Behind this(so to speak), is a class,
and each time the user changes the value of the text box I want to update
the relevant property of the class.
I have the class.property = txtbox.text set on the textbox.leave event, and
this works fine, except for when the user clicks on my toolbar button to
save the details to the database.

Hopefully this is the correct group for this message. My
previous post to (I assume) a non-.net group was not
welcomed.
I have a form with 7 text boxes that are all bound to
fields of a dataset. The form also contains a datagrid
also bound to the same dataset.
I have a button on the form to update the data to the
source.

Hi again,
I have a textbox where the text is longer than the textbox width. When I
type something in there or even do any single keystroke (other than tab, up,
down, or enter) and then leave, the beginning of the string shows, and focus
goes on to the next box. But if I just tab through or want to go straight to
the next textbox, the beginning of the string is cut off, leaving the end of
the string visible.

Hi,
In a .NET 2.0 winforms application, I've got a textbox that, when updated,
uses the validated event to cascade the change to another textbox (along with
another value). This works well if the user does indeed move the cursor to
another textbox, but if the user clicks my "done" toolstripbutton after
making a change in the textbox but without moving the cursor out, the
validated event never fires. I have a pretty bad workaround where...

On the help page "TextBox Members" clearly there is an event for LostFocus.
It is inherited from control.
So without the event directly available for TextBox how do I use it?
I know I could create the event in code, but isn't there a more direct way?

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

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
