Ok, I'm wrong, damn OS being smart and getting in the way

My app fails to refresh if I try to move the window around.

So yeah DoEvents() is the best solution because you can't rely on the user not trying to move the window around. My bad

    UpdateStatusMessage("Calling method1...");
    method1();
    UpdateStatusMessage("Calling method2...");
    method2();
    UpdateStatusMessage("Calling method3...");
    method3();
.
.
.
private void UpdateStatusMessage(string message)
{
    label1.Text = message;
    Application.DoEvents();
}

Text1_OnLeave()
{
    LastBox=TextBox1;//Similar assignment in the other 2 textboxes.
}

Validate()
{
  if(LastText==TextBox1)
  {
     Code to validate Textbox1.
  }
  else if(LastText==TextBox2)
  {
     Code to validate Textbox2.
  }
  else if(LastText==TextBox3)
  {
     Code to validate Textbox3.
  }
}
