Are you sure your text box is enabled at the time of setting focus?

You have to first select the TabPage that hosts the TextBox, then do
TextBox.Focus... otherwise it won't work.

Try selecting the right tab first:
myTabControl.SelectedIndex = 1;
once the right page is visible you should be able to focus on your
text box.
