Put this in GotFocus or When events:

KEYBOARD chr(255)
CLEAR TYPEAHEAD

This clears any previous key and sets the LASTKEY() to 255. This is necessary in order to delete any previous TAB, ENTER, etc, LASTKEY(). In the Valid event check for LASTKEY() and if it's different than TAB, ENTER, etc, then it was exited using the mouse.
