Printing cause form to lose focus

The startup form of my application is used to open other forms containing
detail information on projects, organisations, employees etc (similar to
Outlook)
Each detail form has a print method (creates a PrintDocument and prints the
object)
The data prints as intended, however, when printing is completed, the
startup form then receives focus (the form I printed from gets hidden behing
the startup form)
I have worked around this by adding the following code after printing

'Print the data
Application.DoE vents
Me.focus

But this causes an annoying flicker.
Any suggestions as to how I can keep focus on the original form after
printing?

Thanks
Stephen

Hi, I have a series of Select menus on a page. I am trying to allow the user to click on the Select title and have it popup a help window. This works fine with the following code except that all the Select choices are lost. <A HREF="javascript:location='menu.jsp';window.open('menuhelp.jsp?menuID=5','me nuhelp',)">MenuTitle</A> I saw an example of a popup on a website that did not lose the menu choices.

Hello folks, I'm looking for a script to validate a specific number value in a standard form input field. An example would be, if someone enters a number into a form input, I want the script to validate it and give an alert if that the number exceeds the set script value. Like if the script value is set for 3000 and the number 3002 is entered, I want an alert to pop and give a warning, BTW - This script must be generic enough to work...

I need some help programmatically causing a row in a DataGrid to "flush" its contents to its bound data (in Visual Studio 6 using Windows Forms with C#). My issue is I want to send an update to a database from a menu command while the user is editing a DataGrid. This is unusual in regard to examples and normal practice in that the cell of the DataGrid still has the focus. In all examples I can find, the user normally presses a button on...

hy, I've got a quite simple application: one windows form that consists of a button, and as soon as the user hits the button a second form shall appear. The difficult thing about it is that I want the new form to be created as "deactivated" - that means that the second form has an editbox in it, and this must NOT have the focus - instead, the calling form shall keep its focus. One simple way would be to immediately set focus back...

Does anybody know how I can programmatically cause a textbox to lose focus and automatically jump to the next appropriate control. I have a custom textbox usercontrol whereby the requirement is to enable the user to jump around between controls by hitting the enter key instead of tab key or mouse. Thanks
