There are a couple ways to force textboxes and dropdowns to lose focus, since they like to hold onto it when you don't want them to.
Exactly when are they taking focus or holding onto focus when they shouldn't? Just after you press enter? Or, after you click the checkbox?
It sounds like they are normally disabled, so they wouldn't steal focus then. I do something similar in my browser window. There's an invisible button directly behind the textbox. When you click on the button it enables the the textbox and the textbox is disabled as soon as you move your mouse off of it.
