Can't make a TextBox to get focus - Compact Framework.

[Carlos Lozano]

I have a windows form (compact framework) which has three
hidden controls (label, textbox and listbox) at startup.
The controls are enabled, set visible and shown
programatically but I am not able to get the textbox to
get the focus.

Part of the code is below:

Any idea? Thank you.

private void ShowObjects(bool lTogle)
{
// Show or hide controls depending on lTogle

this.Controls.GetEnumerator().Reset();
int Idx = this.Controls.Count-1, fCtrl = 0;
IEnumerator myEnum = this.Controls.GetEnumerator();
while (Idx >= 0 && fCtrl < 24)
{
// Find all the buttons to hide or show them.
// I also tried sendtoback and bringtofront.

myEnum.MoveNext();
Object myObject = myEnum.Current;
if (myObject.GetType().ToString().EndsWith("aButton") )
{
if (fCtrl < 24)
{
aButton Obj = (aButton) myObject;
if (lTogle)
{
Obj.Show();
Obj.BringToFront();
}
else
{
Obj.Hide();
Obj.SendToBack();
}
Obj.Enabled = lTogle;
fCtrl ++;
}
}
Idx --;
}
lName.Enabled = !lTogle; // Label
tName.Enabled = !lTogle; // TextBox
listBox1.Enabled = !lTogle; // ListBox, yes I am sure.
lName.Visible = !lTogle;
tName.Visible = !lTogle;
listBox1.Visible = !lTogle;
if (lTogle)
{
lName.SendToBack();
tName.SendToBack();
listBox1.SendToBack();
lName.Hide();
tName.Hide();
listBox1.Hide();
}
else
{
lName.BringToFront();
tName.BringToFront();
listBox1.BringToFront();
lName.Show();
tName.Show();
listBox1.Show();
}
// After they are show I call tName.focus() from another
routine.
}
}

Is your other routine getting called? Why don't you just set the focus here?
Is the focus being set to any other control AFTER you set the focus to
tName?
