SetFocus Method

SetFocus Method

See Also         Example         Applies To        

Moves the focus to this instance of an object.

Syntax

object.SetFocus

The SetFocus method syntax has these parts:

Part Description
object Required. A valid object.

Remarks

If setting the focus fails, the focus reverts to the previous object and an error is generated.

By default, setting the focus to a control does not activate the control's window or place it on top of other controls.

The SetFocus method is valid for an empty Frame as well as a Frame that contains other controls. An empty Frame will take the focus itself, and any subsequent keyboard events apply to the Frame. In a Frame that contains other controls, the focus moves to the first control in the Frame, and subsequent keyboard events apply to the control that has the focus.
