[RBG7-L] - Re: Cursor in first field in region on open form

[David M. Blocker]

R:Base folks   My thanks to Karen, Javier, CHarlie and others who weighed in on the issues I raised. I thought I'd share what I learned.   To review, my form had a scrolling region with 6 DB Edit controls and one Bit button; only one of the DBEdits was enabled. The form had 5 bit buttons outside the region.   My goal was to have the form come up with the cursor IN the enabled DBEdit control.   I got it to work by making two changes:   1.  I replaced the 5 bit buttons outside the region with speed buttons, which do  not take focus. 2.  I tried to replace the bit button in the region with a speed button, but Speed buttons are not allowed in regions. So I placed the button OUTSIDE the region.   Voila - the form comes up just like I want it to, with focus in the region.  The buttons all work fine.   I learned:   1.  To get focus to BEGIN in a scrolling region on a form, it appears you must have all controls OUTSIDE the region be those that will not accept focus, which cannot be assigned a Tab order.   2. No speed buttons in regions!   3.  Put together the collective minds of the great folks on this list and you'll get your solution!     David Blocker [EMAIL PROTECTED] 781-784-1919 Fax: 781-784-1860 Cell: 339-206-0261 ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: RBG7-L Mailing List Sent: Friday, November 05, 2004 4:14 PM Subject: [RBG7-L] - Re: Cursor in first field in region on open form David: Remember, the first TABORDER is '0',  not '1'!
