Hello,

I have a situation where the cursor is sitting in textbox 1. The user hits
the tab key and in the leave event of textbox 1 it checks the text property
seeing if it matches a specific value. If so, it disables textbox 2 directly
below it. So by the user hitting the tab key and this occuring, the cursor
should be in textbox 3. Because at the time of hitting the tab key, textbox
2 was enabled .net just realized that it can't put focus in textbox 2 so it
cancels the keypress event and leaves the cursor in textbox 2 instead of
placing it in textbox 3.

This is extremely easy to reproduce and there is a couple of work arounds.
Is this problem known and will it be fixed anytime soon?

Thank you...Nathan - GBIS

so on your leave event for textbox1, if the text matches a particular
value, disable textbox2 and set focus for textbox3.
private void textBox1_Leave(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (textBox1.Text == "testCase")
{
textBox2.Enabled = false;
textBox3.Focus();

}
}
