embedded form focus problem

hi,

I added a form as a control on another form. After adding i want the
embedded form to have focus. I tried all combinations but its not
working..

Do any one know how to do this.
-------------------------------------------
i embedded the form like this
-------------------------------------------

Form2 f = new Form2
f.TopLevel = false;
f.Parent = this;
f.Show();
f.BringToFront();

-------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------
I tried all these things but its not working still
--------------------------------------------------------
1. f.Activate();
2. f.Focus();
3. this.ActiveControl = f;
4. google.Search("embedded form focus problem");
----------------------------------------------------------

thank u

You really shouldn't be embedding the form as a control on another
control. If anything, I would create a custom control which has the
controls on the form and then host it in the other control, or place it on a
form.

Hope this helps.
