Focus on form load

[Etienne Boucher]

This is probably overly simple to fix, but I can't seem to find how. I have
a form with a TabControl, and when the form loads, it puts the focus on the
first tab by default. I want to put the focus on a text control ON the first
tab, but I can't find where to do that. If I give the focus to the control
in Form.Load, it doesn't work. How can I do this?

Thanks in advance,
Etienne Boucher

Set the TextBox as the ActiveControl for the Form.

[C#]
this.ActiveControl = this.textBox1;

That's not so clean since my textbox is on a custom control, but it works.
Thanks!
