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.
