Hi All,

I am working on a task pane in VBA.net and noticed during debugging that when a user clicks in a textbox control, types text, and then clicks into a ComboBox control, the TextBox control's leave, validating, and validated events do not fire until the user clicks into a different textbox control.  If the user goes from a textbox to a combobox and back to the same textbox, these events still won't fire until a different control is entered.

So if I have TextBox1, TextBox2, and ComboBox:

1) If user clicks into TextBox1 then ComboBox:  TextBox1's leave events do not fire

2)  If user clicks into TextBox1 then ComboBox then TextBox1:  Still no leave events firing

3)  If user clicks into TextBox1 then ComboBox then TextBox2:  TextBox1's leave events do fire

4)  If user clicks into TextBox1 then ComboBox then TextBox1 then TextBox2:  TextBox1's leave events fire at TextBox2

Could someone share some insight into why the textbox leave, validating, and validated events are put on hold for a combobox?

Sorry if this is a newbie question - having a hard time finding help with Google on this specific thing.
