This can be accomplished using the TextBox's Focused Event and the AddHandler Statement.


For every TextBox that you want to do something when it has focused you will use the AddHandler statement to indicate which method should be called during the Focused event.

Following code is storing textbox in a variable when you leave the textbox (that is when you click the button), look at storesctive proc which is handling 4 textboxes leavve event.

Public Class Form1 
    Private ActiveTextBox As TextBox 
    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click 
        If ActiveTextBox IsNot Nothing Then 
            ActiveTextBox.AppendText("A") 
            ActiveTextBox.Select() 
        End If 
    End Sub 
 
    Private Sub StoreActive(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.Leave, TextBox2.Leave, TextBox3.Leave, TextBox4.Leave 
        ActiveTextBox = DirectCast(sender, TextBox) 
    End Sub 
End Class

Oh yeah I forgot about the Handles keyword for methods.

I've been doing everything dynamically for so long now and so I tend to forget the quick/simple way of doing things.

Thanks for that Aryandbs :)
