I have a form containing a tab control
I want focus set to a particular text box when the form opens.
However doing this in the load form event
If TabControl1.Sel ectedIndex = 0 Then
If txtFileName.Can Focus Then
txtFileName.Foc us()
End If
End If
I get false from canfocus.
I can do it fine in the tabcontrol.sele ctedindexchange d event so why
can't I do it in load?
Thanks

Controls have not necessarily completed their initilization in the
form's load event. A control to receive the focus, must be enabled,
visible, and have a handle. You may want to move this code to the forms
activated event - though, you will want to put a flag to make sure this
only happens the first time the activated event fires.
You might also make this happen if you do something like:
Me.Visible = True
Me.Refresh
If txtFileName.Can Focus Then
txtFileName.Foc us ()
End If
In your load event. This will force the form to become visible and
redraw it self....

During testing <div style="overflow:auto;"> in CSS I noticed the
mousewheel would work in Mozilla only after I made a <a href="#">some
text</a> link and clicked on that, within the div.
It appears as if Mozilla needs to have the focus set on that div in
order for the mousewheel to work. That's all that link does. The
mousewheel works perfectly in IE without the link. It scrolls the div
even if there is a scrollbar on the page.

There seems to be way too much confusion over how to set focus on the a field using a field validator. I looked all over the web and found people trying to do this, but not getting anywhere.

I want to set a control in a form to have the default focus.
This is not the accept button -- that's set to a button when is

when the form is loaded. The textbox cannot be the first in the Tab
order, since it's not at the top of the window, and it seems silly to
start the tab order at it just to fix this issue. I cannot call
control.Focus() from Form1_Load() since...

I have a number of controls on a tab page. I want to validate them all
when the user tries to leave the tab. I then want to highlight the
first control which fails validation. How can I do this? I try setting

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
