Hi,

In my VB.Net form, I'm trying to create an event (leave event)for a custom text field. I'll have to raise the event when the focus is leaving the textbox. It displays in the event list but doesnot fire when I want to, like leaving the textfield. Please help me with this.

My custom textbox class has this event:

Public Event TextBoxControl_Leave(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)

I'd really really appreciate your help.

Thanks

Raj

Is this a custom control you are using?

If you have the control source, you can look up the RaiseEvent handler and see if it points correctly to the TextBoxControl_Leave event.

If nothing works - you can always use the Enter property of other controls to accomplish what you are trying to achieve.

Hi,
Thanks very much for you reply. It is a custom control (inherited from WPF in winform). Actually, the event displays in the event in the design view of the form, but does not fire it.
Private Sub SpellBox2_TextBoxControl_Leave(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles SpellBox2.TextBoxLeave
Me.SpellBox2.Text = SpellBox2.Text.Trim
End Sub
I'd really appreciate if you could kindly provide me a code sample to go around it. I'm really stuck it that.

Thanks
