You can't detect the previous focussed textbox - because it is no longer focussed - but you can handle the TextBox.Leave event and set a variable to tell you which one it was.

C#

private TextBox lastLeft;
private void myTextBoxes_Leave(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
    lastLeft = sender as TextBox;
    }

Solution 2

It's possibly indexed as 0 or 1, check html code!
Modify all indexed controls...
