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?
