Would this be right?

In defense of Mike, it seems that he wants to prevent the user from moving to the previous object in the tab order when using the backspace. The above works, though you have to write some additional code to deal with mouse clicks.


"How can I best trap the backspace key in a textbox so that after the text is fully deleted the textbox does not lose the focus? I only want the focus to move to the previous control by using the mouse or shift-tab."
