no gotfocus/lostfocus events?

[Guest]

hi, this is the first time i've posted to this board, though i have been a devoted lurker for some time

i have been working in vb.net and run into a couple problems that seem to require solutions involving what was in previous versions of vb, refered to as gotfocus/lostfocus events. however, it seems that though people online refer to them, my vb.net does not have them

just to show i've not lost my mind
http://www.ondotnet.com/pub/a/dotnet/2001/08/27/winforms.html?page=
this guy's article refers to the System.Windows.Forms.Control class as having .lostfocus and .gotfocus events, however when i did the same in my program, it has none

perhaps i have failed to include something in the project, and perhaps my version is out-of-date. here are my version #s
ide: 7.0.946
..net: 1.0.370

any suggestions are appreciated

It's not in the dropdown box. Just write your own event handler like this:

Private Sub TextBox1_LostFocus(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles TextBox1.LostFocus

End Sub

Have you tried to use the Leave and Enter events of the control?

thank you YR

i just figured that all the possible features would be included in the dropdown. didn't figure that just writing it in would work. thank you. you have helped a great deal.
