Lost_Focus not "happening" when using shortcut keys.

Hi.

In my app I have set some action to happen, when txtbox looses focus. I works just like it should when using mouse or tab to change focus to another button, or box.. but when I use shortcut key... for example I have Update button, and I have set shortcut key alt+U for that. Now when used, button goes down ok, but it seems like txtbox looses focus without lostfocus() event happening..
Focus goes to the button... but there´s something wrong, because it doesnt do things it should do in lostfocus.

So.. my question is.. does lostfocus() event happen differently when focus is lost by pressin alt+key... ?

I'm not an expert on the matter but I don't think that it would, because a lostfocus works the same by clicking somewhere else or tabbing somewhere else. Have you tested putting just a message box in the lost focus event?

How did you set the shortcut key to your command button? Set it's caption to "&Update"?

That should not prevent your lostfocus even from firing. Hmmm...

Oh, and to answer this: "So.. my question is.. does lostfocus() event happen differently when focus is lost by pressin alt+key... ?"

Yes, the lostfocus on the text box event still fires when you use a shortcut using Alt+key to another control. er... at least it does on my computer.

Thanks to both of you.. I have set my shortcut that " &Update" way...

when I tested with msgbox.. it actually goes to lostfocus... so... I just have to find out why it doesn´t do what it´s supposed to do.
