Form Focus

[=?Utf-8?B?U2NvdHQgTGFt?=]

Hi,

I have a VB.NET form with a bunch of controls in it .
The focus is in one of the controls , (i.e. a textbox), is there any way to
click on the form itself and make the textbox lose focus and have the form
gain the focus ,
so that no control on the form has the focus ?

Thanks,
Hang

It sounds like the textbox is the defualt item & is highlighted still when
the form is clicked

Click VIEW menu TAB ORDER & change it there, but you won't be able to set
the form as tab order

The Textbox also has a boolean tabstop property which by default is set to
true

I hope that helps,

If you click the form then all the controls will lose focus because the form
will have the focus

If you use Outlook Express for posting messages then zip the project & add
to your post then it can be downloaded or just past the entire forms class

I got the answer from another board, in case somebody else runs into the

same

problem, here is what I used:

in the Form_click event, add :
Form1.ActiveControl = nothing

Thanks for all your reponses,
