Setting focus to a textbox in a tabcontrol

[M O J O]

Hi,

Maybe this question has been asked before, but I've searched the net
without finding any answer.

I create a new solution, put a TabControl on Form1, create a TabPage and
a put a TextBox in this TabPage.

I run the project and the TextBox does not have focus. :o(

I try this...

Private Sub Form1_Activated(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Activated
Me.TextBox1.Focus()
End Sub

This does not give the TextBox focus either.

I check the tab order and this is correct.

How do I set focus to a TextBox in a TabControl???

Thanks!!!

Mojo,

Works for me as well, the same as with Terry

So there should be something more I think.

Make sure the control is visible and enabled. If the control has the
lowest 'TabIndex' on the form, then it will be focussed automatically.
