Is there a way to open a form with no control in focus? I have a form that is
information only (for reading) and would prefer the first control not be
highlighted.

Thanks,
Sam

Click to expand...

Set all controls to Enabled = No and Locked = Yes.

Or create a small dummy control and make it first in the TabOrder.

I'm going to guess that your "read-only" form would have some way of
closing, like, say, a <Close> or <Exit> command button. How 'bout if you
set the focus there?

If you truly have no controls that could/should get the focus, you might
look into turning the tab stop property off for all controls (untested).
