Fire Validated Event on WinForms ComboBox

I have some logic being handled in the Validated event on a combobox, but would like it to trigger as soon as a selection is made. I can handle the SelectedIndexChanged event separately in order to fire the event, but I'm not sure how to invoke it.

<!-- language: lang-vb -->

Private Sub ComboSelectedIndexChanged(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) _
    Handles ComboBox1.SelectedIndexChanged
    'Fire Validated Event
End Sub

Private Sub ComboValidated(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) _
    Handles ComboBox1.Validated
    'Do Something Here
End Sub

I'd rather not call into the method handling the validated event directly,

<!-- language: lang-vb -->

ComboValidated(Nothing, Nothing)

as it's not precisely what I'm trying to do with the code and it will run a second time when in fact the validated event actually does fire upon losing focus.

What code can I execute to fire the validated event (either by fire the event directly or by causing the control to lose focus)?

Why don't you make it as Sub ..

Private Sub ComboValidated(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs) _
    Handles ComboBox1.Validated

    InCBValidated()

End Sub

Sub InCBValidated()

    'Do Something Here

End Sub

So you just call InCBValidated()
