Screen customization: tab sequence changing after code sets focus

Epicor ERP 10

I’m working on creating some automation in a Updatable Dashboard that I built to run Refresh All after tabbing out of a field, then reset the Focus back to that same field. I have it working, at least for the first time that it runs. When I run the sequence a second time the cursor will leave the field and run the Refresh All process and the focus will get looped back correctly, but then I can watch the cursor leave the field again like it was tabbed out. The weird part is that this ghost tab will NOT put the cursor into the next field in the tab sequence. I can shift-tab and the cursor will come back to the first field, but hitting tab will send it into the ether.

I’m not a developer by any means so I have no idea how to do a process trace in a screen to see what C# functions are being called. If anyone can point me to an easy way to do this, maybe that would help figure out what’s causing the extra Leave on the field. Has anyone else experienced this before? At this point I’m stumped on what to do next.

My code is below in case it’s apparent to anyone that I actually screwed this up (entirely possible).

[ninja edit]: I created this code based on this thread: Dashboard Refresh All Issue
