A simple TEXTBOX question - Visual Basic .NET

Marcel Saucier

I want to execute a piece of code on textbox1.text WHEN the user (cursor)
exit that box (using the TAB or ENTER key). Not at every keyboard entry on
that box like I am getting right now with:

Private Sub TextBox1_TextCh anged...

I dont see nothing into properties to achieve that.

Thank you very much again

You're using the default event for a TextBox object, TextChanged, which is
behaving exactly as intended. Try placing your code in an event procedure
for the Leave or LostFocus event if you want to react when the user is
finished entering data into the TextBox object.

Move your code to LostFocus event of the text box. TextChanged, as intended,
will fire for every change.
