Hi David,
I think there is a control( ID).Focus() that you should use.
The ID is the name you have given to that specific edit box. So, try
that.

Subject: Auto-focusing an edit box
Ok, got a bit of an issue, I seem to not get my brain wrappe around.
Hope for someone to have a good idea here. Thanks in advance.
I am trying to construct a form, using a dialog defined in my XML file.
It generally works as expected. Yet, I have this one issue.
The form holds three edit boxes, all of which should be visible and
enabled under all conditions. It then holds a fourth edit box, which
only will be visible, and enabled, in case one of the radiobuttons on
the form is checked. It is not much of coding to get the edit box to
show up and hide, depending on the radiobutton's status on the screen.
What I had a dream of accomplishing, though, is to have the cursor
automatically jump to the edit box, once it gets activated by the
radiobutton. I use the RadiobuttonClicked Event, to determine when the
radiobutton got activated, and then make the edit box visible and
enabled. But I don't see anything in the Quick Reference, that will let
me force focus onto the edit box.
Can this be accomplished, and if so, what is the clue that I am missing?
BTW, could someone please enlighten me on two small questions, please.
1. What is a Push Button, as compared to a Radiobutton?
2. Do I have to use both the Visible and Enable features of the edit
box, to have it shown or hidden? Or, is it enough to just use one of
them. And if so, why are they both there? I want the thing to work, even
for sighted users, so it does matter whehter the thing really gets
inactive visually.
Thanks,

David
