Mystified by focus that doesn´t show ...

Hi to all,

I have a subform [Child_0] which changes its Sourceobject, using the
following expression:

Forms![Estados Condomino]![Child_0].SourceObject = "Subform Deposito
Mant"

and the focus to the desired control, a textbox calles "TxtMonto"

Forms![Estados Condomino]![Child_0].SetFocus
Forms![Estados Condomino]![Child_0]!TxtMonto.SetFo cus

So far so good, no errors, (for once) If I check with the
ActiveControl Property in the immediate window, it displays the
correct Textbox. The only thing is that the focus doesn´t to its
"blinking" on my form. It shows no focus on no control, not on the
parent and not on the Subform. If I then click on no matter where in
the form or the subform, (not on the textbox itself!) the cursor
inmediately shows up, but i do not want to have to do that...

Hope I made it clear and look forward to an answer...

Not to answer your question, but: if it really is the subform (not the main
form) that is executing that code, the code should refer to the subform as
Me - not as Forms![Estados Condomino]![Child_0]. Thus:

me![txtMonto].setfocus
^^

This avoids the subform having to know the name of the calling form, and of
the calling form's subform control.

HTH,

The enclosed html snippet displays an area map. The behavior I want is for each area to show up (eg show the outline of the poly) when the user mouses over it. This happens nicely BUT in order for this to occur, the user must hit the tab key to set the focus into the image (or the map -- I am not sure which at this point). In any case, I need a way to automatically force the browser focus into the image (or map) -- because end-users do...

Hi, I'd like to have a rollover like effect when a input field has the focus, any idea of how to do this with just CSS (easy enough with javascript)? What I'm thinking of is having a tips box show up next to the input field, but only when the field actually has focus. I was thinking if there's any way to make the focus apply to a

I've a form that opens a tool window. The problem is that when the tool window is opened, the main form itself passes focus to the toolwindow. What I want and need is a toolwindow that works like a control with tabstop=false, i.e. it doesn't get focus when the window is opened, but focus is retained at the main form. And when you click a button on the toolwindow, it processes the click event and returns focus to the main form. Is that...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
