OnKillFocus not being called

I have a CFormView derived class where I want to call a method when focus is lost.

Tried this:

MyClass.cpp

ON_CONTROL_REFLECT(EN_KILLFOCUS, OnKillFocus)

void CMyClass::OnKillFocus()
{
}

MyClass.h

afx_msg void OnKillFocus();

But my method is not being called, is there some way to achieve what I want?

Relevant message and functions are

ON_WM_KILLFOCUS()

and

afx_msg void OnKillFocus(CWnd* pNewWnd);

EN_KILLFOCUS and other EN_XXX notifications are specific to Edit controls. For example:

BEGIN_MESSAGE_MAP(CMyDialog, CDialog)
    ON_EN_KILLFOCUS(IDC_EDIT1, OnMyFunction)
END_MESSAGE_MAP()

void OnMyFunction();
