Note

Do not try to set focus in the LostFocus event handler. Doing so can cause your application or the operating system to stop responding.

Examples

The following example shows how to respond to the GotFocus event in an event handler. This example requires that you have a RectangleShape control named RectangleShape1 on a form.

private void rectangleShape1_GotFocus(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    rectangleShape1.SelectionColor = Color.Red;
}
Private Sub RectangleShape1_GotFocus(
  ) Handles RectangleShape1.GotFocus

    RectangleShape1.SelectionColor = Color.Red
End Sub
