Form Focus 2

[hanglam]

hi all,

i have a Windows Form with a bunch of texboxes and combobox in it .
When i'm running the app and filling out the form , I want to click on the form itself so no control has the focus . I thought by click on the form itself will make all controls lose the focus , but somehow that is not the case and last control used still has the focus .

is this a bug or am i missing something here , do i need to set a property in the form ?

is there a way to make the form gain the focus so that no controls has the focus ?

thanks,
hang

How about setting each control's TabStop property to False?

You could add another focusable control and either hide it under another control or move it off the viewable portion of the form. Set it's tab stop to false, and on the form.click even set the focus to your hidden control. Set the hidden control's tab index to 0, so that if your users click the form, then hit tab, they should wind up in the first correct control.

Thanks,

I got the answer from another board.

In the Form_Click event, add this line:
me.ActiveControl = nothing
