Yes, but I didn't want to be in poor form by posting another message so related to other recent ones I've written regarding focus issues. They all come back to the fact that I have a combobox, with extensive code in the class, that will not keep the focus without manually clicking or tabbing into. I have event-tracked, coverage-profiled and stepped-through so much I think the code is actually beginning to deteriorate... :)

The best I can tell, when the combobox gets the focus it immediately spits it out to the next object in the tab order. I guess a better question would be: What events for a combobox fire following the GotFocus method? I have looked on MSDN and Wiki, but could not find anything.

My next step is to start breaking apart the combobox class, but this will be an effort as it was initially built from someone else's class and modified to work in my particular situation. I was hoping by understanding what might cause an object to lose focus I could limit the scope of my troubleshooting.
