Hello Paul,

This looks very interesting, but unfortunately it did not help with my
problem.

I know the timer fired to release the temp form because I put a wait window
msg in the timer method, but the container still has the same problem with
the lost focus

I had a similar problem and solved it like this:

In one of your procedures define a timer as follows 

Define Class "TempTimer" As Timer
        Interval = 1000
        Procedure Timer()
                Thisform.Release()
        EndProc
EndDefine

Add a property lFirstActivate (default value .T.) to the form that is
causing a problem,  then put the following code in the forms Activate method


Local loForm As Form
loForm = CreateObject("Form")
loForm.AddObject("oTimer", "TempTimer")
loForm.Left = -1000
loForm.Top = -1000
loForm.Show(1)
This.lFirstActivate = .F.

HTH

Paul

Happy Friday !!

I have been trying to fix this problem for a while, but I am stumped.

I have a VFP9  form that has several containers on the form. Depending on
the menu item selected, the program will load other containers inside the
main containers on the form.

I have one container that on the first load only, the focus is lost when the
container loads. Everything looks fine with the container but when you hit
the TAB key the computer beeps like it can not tab. I also can not type in
any of the text boxes. The weird thing is I can click in any of the text
boxes, but it will not let me type. The dropdown controls do work and I can
click on the down arrow of the control and drop the options.

If I click on the same menu option the second time, everything is working
fine and the focus is correct and the text fields work as expected.

I am stumped how to figure out where the focus is on the first load. 

Is there any way to find out where the focus is or why the container that
was just loaded does not have the focus on the first load.

If I run the debugger, the focus changes and when I click back on the
container, every thing is working like normal

I hate these kind of problems ...............
