Form does not have focus

I have an application where a hidden form displays a system tray icon. The hidden form calls a second form. When the second form is displayed on screen it does not have focus and I am not able to use the Activated event to automatically set focus to the first control on the form as I’d like. Any suggestions would be appreciated

Thanks

Jeremy
 
I am not sure, but can't you use something like this

(C#
frmMain form = new frmMain()
form.Show()
form.Focus();
 
I'm using

System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult res=frm.ShowDialog();
di=frm.DocumentInfo

to display the form. Since I need to wait for user input to save to my DocumentInfo object.
 
Can't you just do it with TabIndex?
