Set focus after clicking a button

[Sylvain Provencher]

Hi everybody,

We have a surely common problem : I want to set focus on a TextBox control
after a user click on a button. If I put code like :

Private sub MyButton_Click(...) handle Mybutton.click
...Some stuff
MyTextBox.focus()
End Sub

The focus stay on the button. Same behavior in C#... A hint ?

Works fine for me (in C#)....perhaps it's something your doing in "Some
stuff"? Or do you have code that is supposed to be run when the textbox gets
focus?

I am not able to repro that on Windows XP Professional + .NET 1.1.
