SET FOCUS on FORM

[stlrain95]

I have a form that I need to set focus on when it is activated. What are the commands for this?

Currently it is a top form.

Also has a text box that I want focus on as well?


And last but not least is there a tab correction that I need to make so that when I hit enter it will actually execute the form?

object.setfocus is for focus.

I dont understand last question. If u want to button acting as a ENTER, change default property to .t.

By the last question I mean I have a form for user to put in a desired file name.

There is one text box and one command button.

When the form opens I want the focus set on the form with cursor mark in the text box.

Then when user is done they can hit enter to activate the command button.

Does this help a little?

Set your OK button's property 'Default' to .T. (as stated before) and give your textbox's property 'tabindex' the value of 1 so it will get the focus as the first control on that form.
if you wish to add a cancel button, you can add a button and set its property Cancel to .T.
When the user presses 'ESC' the cancel button's click event will be executed, so you can release or hide the form using the cancel button's click event.
