change event when mouse is clicked outside a panel

[mason84]

Hi i am trying to work out the event that handles when i click outside a area "i guess that is how to put it"

This is exactly what i mean

I have a panel i.e

ProfileNamePanel

and a text box i.e

Profile_NameTextBox

I whish for the ProfileNamePanel to change color when i click inside the Profile_NameTextBox which i obviously done using

    Private Sub Profile_NameTextBox_MouseClick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles Profile_NameTextBox.MouseClick


        ProfileNamePanel.BackColor = Color.Aquamarine

    End Sub

BUT now i am stuck trying to work out what event handles changing the color again say to black once i have clicked away from

Profile_NameTextBox


So in short i whish to change a panels color when i click on a textbox then after i finish that textbox and click elsewhere i want to change the color of the panel again.

Cheers in advance

the form, textbox, + panel all have a _MouseClick event of their own.
also you can use 1 event to handle multiple control's events:

Private Sub multiple_controls__MouseClick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.MouseEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.MouseClick, Me.MouseClick

End Sub

The best place to put your code is the GotFocus and LostFocus events of Profile_NameTextBox, by this way you don't have to put the code in the MouseClick event of all other controls.

    
    Private Sub Profile_NameTextBox_GotFocus(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Profile_NameTextBox.GotFocus
        ProfileNamePanel.BackColor = Color.Aquamarine
    End Sub

    Private Sub Profile_NameTextBox_LostFocus(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Profile_NameTextBox.LostFocus
        ProfileNamePanel.BackColor = Color.Black
    End Sub
