SetFocus() does not work

[Sean]

Hi all,

I am having problem setting the focus on a rcihTextBox.
The CanFocus returned false.

Any idea/suggestion to make the SetFocus work would be
greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.


regards,
Sean

Are you sure the control is visible and enabled?

Hi Sean,

CanFocus return false if the control is not visible. that's why you cannot
use Focus method in the form constructor. If you want to use it there set
the rich edit as an active control in the Form.ActiveControl property.
