TextBox.OnLostFocus Method

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Called before LostFocus event occurs.

Namespace:  System.Windows.Controls
Assembly:  System.Windows (in System.Windows.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Protected Overrides Sub OnLostFocus ( _
    e As RoutedEventArgs _
)
protected override void OnLostFocus(
    RoutedEventArgs e
)

Parameters

Remarks

The OnLostFocus method is called before any event handler for the LostFocus event is called. This method allows derived classes to handle the LostFocus event without attaching a delegate. This is the preferred technique for handling the event in a derived class.

By default, when the TextBox control has the focus, the text in the TextBox is selected and the cursor appears.

Notes to Inheritors

When overriding OnLostFocus method in a derived class, be sure to call the base class’s OnLostFocus method so that registered delegates receive the event.
