Validating event

Hi,
Could someone tell me how to get the name of the control on which the user has clicked, when the Validating event of the current control is raised.

Say if you are in a textbox, you leave it by clicking on a Treeview, I'd like to check in the Validating event of the textbox that the control the user has clicked on is a Treeview.

How can I do that ?

Thank you.

The bug was related to VS2005 beta 2... :-( I've upgraded to VS2005 express, and it works just fine

Actually I would like to bring some precisions to my first post.
My application is a MDIParent with a child form. The MDIParent contains the Treeview and the child contains the textbox. A sample can be downloaded here: http://graphicsxp.free.fr/ValidatingSample.zip (click on New Document to open the child form)
This bug do NOT occur with VS2003, only with VS2005 where the MDIParent.ActiveControl is always the child form.... Sad
