textbox control focus and input

[Carlos Lozano]

Hello everybody,
I Have a piece of code for a Pocket PC that has a
disabled and hidden textbox control at startup. It is
enabled and set visible programatically . The cursor is
captured calling the focus method.
The problem is: the focus is lost almost inmediately. I
can't type in anything.

See the code below.

Any ideas?

Thank you,

Carlos Lozano

The code is like this:

SetVisible(bool toggle)
{
if (toggle)
{
bool lfocus = false;
tName.Enabled = true;
tName.Visible = true;
tName.Show(); // The control is shown at this point
lfocus = tName.Focus();
/* I found lfocus is true when debugging. Meaning
it got the focus, but seems it lost focus
inmediately.
*/
}
else
{
tName.Visible = false;
tName.Enabled = false;
tName.Hide(); // The control is hidden again
}
}
