Form FocusHi,
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, Show quoteHide quote "Scott Lam" <Scott***@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:F4AC6289-5CFC-4F4F-BADD-2DE961FC9FEF@microsoft.com... > 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 my problem is that i want all controls in my form to lose focus when a user
