Can't set focus to controls on TabPage

[Paul Close]

A new solution/project consisting of a single windows form with a tab
control, 3 tab pages and a text box on each tab page. I expected the
following to set focus to the text box on the selected tab page but it does
not.

Private Sub TabControl1_SelectedIndexChanged(...etc
Select Case TabControl1.SelectedIndex
Case 0
txtBox1.Focus()
Case 1
txtBox2.Focus()
Case 2
txtBox3.Focus()
End Select
End Sub

CanFocus is false for the tab page and the text box while in the sub.
TabControl1.SelectedTab = TabPage1 before txtBox1.Focus() doesn't help
either.

What am I missing?

Thanks

there

It's the tab control SelectedIndexChanged event handler. No other user
entered code in the project.

You were on the right track Brian. Thanks. The tab control
SelectedIndexChanged event fires before the first form Load event so nothing
can recieve focus.
