Hello Paul,

This looks very interesting, but unfortunately it did not help with my

problem.

I know the timer fired to release the temp form because I put a wait window

msg in the timer method, but the container still has the same problem with

the lost focus

I had a similar problem and solved it like this:

In one of your procedures define a timer as follows

Define Class "TempTimer" As Timer

Interval = 1000

Procedure Timer()

Thisform.Release()

EndProc

EndDefine

Add a property lFirstActivate (default value .T.) to the form that is

causing a problem, then put the following code in the forms Activate method

Local loForm As Form

loForm = CreateObject("Form")

loForm.AddObject("oTimer", "TempTimer")

loForm.Left = -1000

loForm.Top = -1000

loForm.Show(1)

This.lFirstActivate = .F.

HTH

Paul

Happy Friday !!

I have been trying to fix this problem for a while, but I am stumped.

I have a VFP9 form that has several containers on the form. Depending on

the menu item selected, the program will load other containers inside the

main containers on the form.

I have one container that on the first load only, the focus is lost when the

container loads. Everything looks fine with the container but when you hit

the TAB key the computer beeps like it can not tab. I also can not type in

any of the text boxes. The weird thing is I can click in any of the text

boxes, but it will not let me type. The dropdown controls do work and I can

click on the down arrow of the control and drop the options.

If I click on the same menu option the second time, everything is working

fine and the focus is correct and the text fields work as expected.

I am stumped how to figure out where the focus is on the first load.

Is there any way to find out where the focus is or why the container that

was just loaded does not have the focus on the first load.

If I run the debugger, the focus changes and when I click back on the

container, every thing is working like normal

I hate these kind of problems ...............
