What is another alternative to `TextChanged` event

I am working in windows form and have a few textboxes on a form.

These textboxes from top to bottom are connected, so if the text changes in textbox1, then txtbox2 and txtbox3 have to comply, if something changes in textbox2 then 3 has to comply;... and so on ... not going to bore you.

Now I was looking for an alternative, more efficient way of calling the textchanged event on the textboxes so it doesn't do everything everytime, even if one charater has changed....

Something like focus off textbox event ... or some other alternative .

This would be in vb.net and windows form.

You can use the TextBox.LostFocus event inherited from Control.LostFocus.

This event is fired when the control looses focus, like Tab or clicked on another control.

TextBox1.LostFocus perhaps? Or enable validation on the controls.

Control focus event order: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/system.windows.forms.control.lostfocus.aspx

CausesValidation:
