Hello All,
I have a web control that when receive the focus, a postback is called,
using getPostBackEven tReference. But, when the PostBack is called, i want
that the focus goes to the web control.

Hi,
You can retain focus during postbacks by setting SmartNavigation = True for
that page but SmartNavigation has some disadvantages.

"But if i understand you correctly you are trying to cause postback on focus
of a control and if you set focus to the same control will it not cause the
page to postback again" -- forgive me if i got you wrong :)

I tink you need use a javascript on bottom of html.
Try this:
RegisterStartup Script("whatyou wantstring","<S CRIPT
language=javasc ript>document.g etElementById(' controlname').f ocus;</SCRIPT>");

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 want to be able to test if my app's form has focus, (ie: not in background, behind other windows). How can I do this? I tried the Me.Focused, but that doesn't work. I think it's because a control within the form actually has focus, so the Me.Focused would return false. Thanks!

I am developing a VB.NET user control that is composed of a component control (along with some classes, etc). This is probably a stupid question, and should be easy, but I must be having a brain fart. In the control itself, how do I set focus BACK to the form that the control is on? This control does some maniuplation of an outside application (by starting up the application and sending it keystrokes). What I want to be able to do is to...

I am using a WebBrowser object in my .NET 2.0 application, but it is not shown to the user. Every time a timer event triggers it to perform a m_WebBrowser.Navigate() I get that classic IE 'click' and it steals the focus from the user's current application. How can I prevent the hidden WebBrowser from stealing focus? (And better yet can I even suppress that click?_

I've created some custom controls and forms that allow the feature to temporarily transfer focus to a control that has been entered by the mouse. Everything seems to work fine but the problem I have is that sometimes I seem to loose the original "holder" of focus and when the user hits tab while using "temporary" focus(while the mouse is over a control) it will change focus to the next control but not update it. So I have several issues....

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/system.windows.forms.control.focus(VS.80).aspx this page says: "Focus is a low-level method intended primarily for custom control authors. Instead, application programmers should use the Select method or the ActiveControl property for child controls, or the Activate method for forms." I am trying to give a Numeric UpDown control focus. Only Focus() works. But this says to not use it.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
