textbox enter or GotFocus

Dear All,

What is the different between Enter and GotFocus events?

Best reagrds,
Boki.

>From the docs :

The GotFocus and LostFocus events are low-level focus events that are
tied to the WM_KILLFOCUS and WM_SETFOCUS Windows messages. Typically,
the GotFocus and LostFocus events are only used when updating UICues.

The Enter and Leave events should be used for all controls except the
Form class, which uses the Activated and Deactivate events.

Regards,

Cerebrus.

GotFocus and LostFocus are "low-level" events that Our Friends in
Redmond would prefer us not to use any more.
Enter and Leave are their respective replacements.

Also, bear in mind the caution tone of this MSDN article:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/lib...us(VS.80).aspx
specifically

"Do not attempt to set focus from within the LostFocus event handler.
Doing so can cause your application or the operating system to stop
responding ..."

Hi , I did ask before but got no replies. I have a series of textboxes, In Enter event I need to set the focus to a different textbox I am having problems when I set focus within the Textbox Enter event. It is looping thru the events. Does anyone know how I can set focus to another object when the Textbox has received focus either by keyboard or mouse event.

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...

Hi. I have... well.... not very many computer-literate users to my web- site. For the textbox which expects an email address, for instance, I had to enter a default text like "Email..." because if not, they phoned me asking questions like "What does the message 'Your email address is required' ?" :-)))

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
