Setting focus on a new control 1

[zggs90]

I have built a control that is basically a text box with limits that control the characters that can be entered, in this case it is only numeric data.

When I load the form that contains the new component I try to set the focus to new control with

NewControl1.SetFocus

but I get a runtime error 5, invalid procedure call or argument,

when I use a regular textbox and code

TextBox1.SetFocus

it works fine.

Any help on what is needed ?

Double check all the code in your control. It sounds like you might have a typo somewhere.

Thanks for your response, I have checked the code and it appears OK.

I am able to use the control normally, it is only trying to set focus when the problem occurs.

Does your control have the SetFocus method listed as a method of the new control?
If it does, is there any code in this method?

Move the .Setfocus out of Form_Load to the Form_Activate event
