Capturing key events...

[Matthew Wells]

I'm trying to capture a textbox's key event when a user uses the tab key
without entering any data. I put a stop statememt in the KeyDown, KeyPress,
and KeyUp events and I've tried the form's keypreview property both ways.
What am I missing?

Thanks.

It sounds like you may want to use the 'Lost Focus' event.
The tab will jump to the next form object, relinquishing
focus to another. At this point you may want to validate your
text boxes contents for scrutiny. I hope this is useful for
your purpose
