Last week I posted this for the first time. However, I didn't get any useable
solution to my problem. I'm very keen on getting this problem solved, so
please excuse me for trying again. I'll try to be a little more precise.
I have an app running (minimized) and without showing itself on the task
bar. It puts an icon in the task pane (next to the clock), and when I click
this icon, a message handler is invoked and creates a new usercontrol on the
screen. This usercontrol contains a textbox. This textbox is the problem.
When the usercontrol appears I would like to give input to the textbox
immediately. I use the focus() method but all that happens is that I get a
text-cursor (flashing in the textbox) and it looks like its ready for input.
However, when I type on the keyboard, nothing happens. I have to click
somewhere on the usercontrol for the textbox to capture input from the
keyboard. I do not think that focus method is the key to the solution, I've
tried several combination from various methods. It looks like the fokus
medthod works on application level - or form - level, and not on Operating
system level - is that correct, any solution to my problem.
Thank you,
Regards Jesper.

Perhaps you need a WIN32() like SetFocus() from User32.lib.
1) Focus method is useless when a form is shown for the first time if you
correctly entered TabIndex fields for each component. The field that will
first have focus is the one with the value '0'.
2) However, with Focus method, it would have worked. Do you have 'Enter' or
'GotFocus' that set a focus in one of the parent chain of your textbox ? If
not, how do you show your form ? How do you set the focus ? To your textbox
or to your usercontrol ? Do you have a sample of your code that you could
provide ?

After a user enters data into a field, I need to populate other controls on
the form, based on the user entry. I have to use either Leave, Validating or
Validated, and I take it I can't use LostFocus because there is no selection
for that event in the dropdown list on the code page. What's happening is
that all 3 events mentioned above for the textbox control fire in the proper
order when the form is invoked, but don't fire the first time...

Hi again,
I have a textbox where the text is longer than the textbox width. When I
type something in there or even do any single keystroke (other than tab, up,
down, or enter) and then leave, the beginning of the string shows, and focus
goes on to the next box. But if I just tab through or want to go straight to
the next textbox, the beginning of the string is cut off, leaving the end of
the string visible.

I asked this question a couple of days ago but am just now looking at it
again.
I used to use the textbox gotfoucs event to have all the text in the
textbox selected when it gotfocus. That doesn't seem to work in .net
when the textbox receives focus via a mouse click.
Jeffrey and Shane both advised how to get a mouse click to select all
the text (thank you both) but using the mousedown or mouseup events
doesn't work the way I want it...

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,...
