When your edit control loses focus, it gets a WM_KILLFOCUS message.
(Likewise, a window receiving the focus gets WM_SETFOCUS.)  You can
capture WM_KILLFOCUS, check the data typed into the edit control, and
do whatever's appropriate---send messages to other windows, keep the
focus using SetFocus() if the data is invalid, etc.  You'll need to
subclass the edit control to do this.

At least, I *think* that's how it's supposed to work....

Press on....
