I which event i want to write a code leave_event or got focus event. Any suggestion

Answer 1

I would use the Enter event instead because MSDN notes that

the GotFocus and LostFocus events are low-level focus events that are
tied to the WM_KILLFOCUS and WM_SETFOCUS Windows messages. Typically,
the GotFocus and LostFocus events are only used when updating UICues
or when writing custom controls. Instead the Enter and Leave events
should be used for all controls except the Form class, which uses the
Activated and Deactivate events.

You can use your logic there and call SelectNextControl if this TextBox should not get focus.
