I have a usercontrol with a label, a textbox, a treeview, a grid and a
couple of checkboxes.
The usercontrol is hosted on a form together with a cancel and a
accept button. This form is used to search records in a database.
On several forms in my application I show (modal) this form to search
records. Everytime I show the form I want the focus to be on the
textbox on the usercontrol.
This works the first time I display the form. But every other time I
just can't get the textbox to receive the focus.
I have tried everything.
I have setup a timer that goes off and tries to set the focus to the
textbox. The textbox.Focus returns false. I have checked the
..Activecontrol property and it tells me the textbox has the focus.
When I press TAB and then ShiftTab the focus is on the textbox. So
before pressing Tab it must have been on the textbox.
But no cursor is displayed and I can't enter any text.
Does anyone have an idea to force the focus to the textbox?

I didn't get it clearly... if the textBox is on the modal from then it is
very easy to set the focus to its textBox when the modal form is shown.
I used this:
' In the calling form:
Private Sub Button2_Click(B yVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles Button2.Click
Dim f As New SplashForm
f.ShowDialog()
End Sub
' In the Splash or search from which you set as a dialog from:
Private Sub SplashForm_Load (ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles MyBase.Load
Me.TextBox1.Foc us()
End Sub
' Be sure to close the dialog form everytime the work with it finishes.
Correct me if i was wrong

Joop,
no the textbox is on the usercontrol. There is no textbox on the form,
just the usercontrol and two buttons.

OK, this is a stupid thing, but I can't seem to get this to work. I have a
form with a subform (in continuous form view). A combo box on the main form
has code in the AfterUpdate event which adds a record to the subform (based
on the value of the combo box) and requeries the subform control. I want the
focus to return to the combo box on the main form when it's done, but I

Hi,
I have a dialog box with a multiline textbox and three buttons. The
obvious thing I'm suffering with is how to give focus to the textbox,
so that when the dialogbox pops up, the user could immediately start
typing without having to click in the textbox.
I tried textBox.Focus(), textBox.SelectAll() with no success... The
tabindex of the textbox is set to 0, which should mean that the
textbox would have the focus when the dialogbox is...

Hi,
There is a tab control on a page with multiple tabs and handful of
controls in each tab. The way it's rendered in html (like grid etc..)
is in table format in tablerows and cells.
On clientside, on form validation in javascript, I would like to set
focus on to one of the tabs
and set the focus to the control on that tab.

Hi evryone,
I'm having trouble in formatting the inputed data in the text box so that everytime user lost focus it will adjust its value to contain the format (#,####.##). ie user will input 1111.1 it will immediately be converted to 1,111.10 as its value.
I've tried using this code in every lost focus:
