Tabbing - VC++.NET - Managed

[Garfbradaz]

Hi Guys,



I have created by own Texbox class and i have the following override:

 
virtual bool IsInputKey(Keys keyData) //override
 
{
 
if (Keys::Tab == keyData)
 
{
 
return true;
 
}
 
else
 
{
 
return false;
 
}
 
//check keyData is key value and return true or false
 
//return false;
 
}
 
 

I have this because i want to test for the TAB key BEFORE the control is lost and change the first character of the text property to a captial. Now the reason i want to override the IsInputKey to test the TAB keydata, is because i do not want the user to move from one control to the next, if the Text property is NULL - i.e. the the user has to input some text.



The problem is, i dont know how to handle the LostFocus/GetFocus events. How do i handle this and pass focus to the next control. Remembering that this is done within my Textbox class, but i could have other types of controls instantiated on the form (comboboxes etc).


At present my control remanins on in the textbox and i have to manually click out of the controls to the next one.

IM USING VISUAL STUDIO 2005 on Vista Ulitmate
