Experts - Very strange - Focus from one object to another

[Gidi]

Hi,

I've a strange problem in my form. I have a textBox which i want to get the
focus when the form is loaded, so i gave it TabIndex=1 and on the load method
i wrote textBox1.Focus(). I have two more dataGrids which i was able to move
from one to another by clicking Enter, then i wanted to move from DataGrid2
to another textbox i have, and i couldn't. i tried to change the TabIndexs of
all the objects, and what i got is that now nothing works! I lost the focus
of textbox1, i can't make the focus to move from dataGrid2 to the last
textBox. WHAT CAN I DO?

Do i have to set the TabIndex, is there a way fix this problem?

Thanks,
Gidi.

How are you trying to move from the grid to the textbox? if by pressing TAB
then you should set your TabIndex accordingly

The TabIndes should work fine, alone. It seems that you are intercepting
some events from some of the controls and using Focus , this may interfere
with the flow that TabIndex provide
