Ken,
there's a very easy way to get around the problem with the toolbar not
receiving focus. I believe you merely reset focus to the current control.

button toolbar (to allow exiting a form when the current entry
control has an invalid value), but there are probably other traps.)
Toolbars and the controls on them cannot* get focus. Therefore if the
user is able to exit by clicking a toolbar button, the LostFocus() of
whatever control had focus at that time may not fire. If the button
they click is the "Save" button, they can save invalid data.
This is one reason why I abandoned using toolbars.
* They aren't _supposed_ to be able to get focus. As I recall, there
are bizarrenesses with comboboxes on toolbars, and, perhaps, also with
textboxes.
