DataGridView LostFocus Event

Question

I have a (seemingly) strange issue.  I want to do something when a datagridview loses focus, but the event doesn't fire.  I know have focus to begin with because the tab key functions within the dgv as I expect.  What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Answer 1

How do you know you are loosing focus on the DGV?  Do you select another control?  Does that control fire its gotfocus event?

Corey,

Which event handler are you using? I assume the ".Leave" event? If so, put a breakpoint in and follow what it's doing and when - you'll probably discover why it's not doing what you want that way.

Good luck with your project. :)

    Private Sub dgvReceivings_Leave(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles dgvReceivings.Leave
        dgvReceivings.Visible = False
    End Sub

    Private Sub dgvReceivings_LostFocus(sender As Object, e As System.EventArgs) Handles dgvReceivings.LostFocus
        dgvReceivings.Visible = False
    End Sub

These two events do not fire when I click on the form itself.  One of them fires when I click on another control.

My ultimate goal is to get a dgv to behave like a combobox dropdown, which collapses the dropdown when you do click on the form background.  I think I'll just add a click event for the form...

No, you're right, it's based on the loss of focus from that control to another control on the form.
