[dba-VB] c# text box changed event

Hi John

Are we allowed to help with homework? Some forums explicitly prohibits this! The idea behind homework - ask your teacher - is quite often that you are supposed to work out a solution by yourself as a challenge for your - eh - limited resources!

Anyway, I had the same issue and worked out this very simple method:

<code>
        private void textBoxName_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            TextBox textBox = (TextBox)sender;
            if (textBox.Focused)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(textbox.Text);
            }
        }
</code>

No.  I am doing a homework assignment where I collect grades in classes, and then move back and 
forth through the classes.  I have chosen to use a shared text box where the grade classes display 
their grades, and the user enters new grades.
