Hello,
I have a button on the main form and the follwing code when you click on it. Though the last record is the sub form (datasheet view) is shown, the focus remains on the button last_transactio n on the main form. I tried to get the focus on the sub form - form_transaction.setfocus
but i get an error 'the expression contains an invalid methode'. When I search for a solution everyone states that the above statement should work. But the focus remains on the button on the main form. What's wrong?
Thanks in advance
kind regards,
gerhard -

The subform object does not necessarily have the same name as the form used as the subform. Open the main form in design view and click on (not in) the subform object. Open the properties window and under the other tab check the value in the Name property. This is the name of the subform object.
You are not refering to a form but to a subform object.
To refer to the main form use Me. To refer to a control on the main form
Me.ControlName To refer to a property of the main form
Me.PropertyName To refer to a control on the subform
Me.SubformObjec tName.Form.Cont rolName To refer to a property of the subform
Me.SubformObjec tName.Form.Prop ertyName

Hello Mary,
It seems like the field client, within sub form transaction (dataview) got focus after clicking on the button last transaction in de main form. But that;s not the case. It is colored black. But still the button in the main form has the focus. Only clicking on client gives the focus on the sub form 'transaction'. The main form is called transaction.ent ry and the sub form transaction. The statement form_transactio n.setfocus or form_transactio n.klant stated in the sub of the button 'last transaction' still creates an error message. Please do you have a solution..
kind regards

Try setting the focus on the main form to its subform object first. Only then, set the focus to the item on the subform.
For help referencing the various controls and forms see ( Referring to Items on a Sub-Form).

OK, this is a stupid thing, but I can't seem to get this to work. I have a
form with a subform (in continuous form view). A combo box on the main form
has code in the AfterUpdate event which adds a record to the subform (based
on the value of the combo box) and requeries the subform control. I want the
focus to return to the combo box on the main form when it's done, but I
can't get it to do so if the user enters a value and presses Enter...

I've tried working with the SelectedIndices and Items.Selected
attributes to get the problem to go away, but not having any luck.
Questions I have are:
1) How do you move (using code) the focus Rectangle when your Selected
Index changes ?
2) If there are no selected rows, can that focus rectangle be removed?
3) What other quirks exist in this simple example I might need to code
for ?

Is there a way of stopping a form getting focus in VB.NET. The scenario I
have is a main form and a form used for display only. There are no user
controls on the display form and it does not ever need to have the focus.
When the displays on the form are updated it appears to get the focus. I
would like to prevent this because if the user operates any hot-keys
(thinking the main form still has focus) these keys will fail.

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...
