FocusEvents aren't CommandEvents, so they don't "bubble" upwards to 
parent widgets. So I think you need to call the evt_kill_focus method on 
each ComboBox instance. Have a look at the event handling tutorial in 
the main API docs for more info.

get_event_object should return the widget that triggered any event.

try:
cbo.evt_set_focus { ... }

Note that there's a bug on OS X that means ComboBoxes aren't firing 
evt_kill_focus for some reason. But it should work fine on Windows or Linux.
