How to remove the focus from a TextBox in WinForms?

by

You need some other focusable control to move the focus to.

Note that you can set the Focus to a Label. You might want to consider where you want the [Tab] key to take it next.

Also note that you cannot set it to the Form. Container controls like Form and Panel will pass the Focus on to their first child control. Which could be the TextBox you wanted it to move away from.
