Steps to Reproduce Behavior

1. Create a form.



2. Add a PageFrame to the form and set the PageCount property to 1.



3. Put the following code in the Activate event of page1:




WAIT WINDOW "Activate Page 1" 

4. Add two textbox controls to the Page.



5. Save and run the form.
   
   When the form is run, the Wait window appears in the right-hand corner. Click the mouse once, and the focus should return to the page. Now, using the down arrow key to move the focus to the text box, try to cycle though the text boxes until the focus returns back to the page again. The Activate event does not trigger.
