26. Windows Forms TabControl

26.4 How do I force the focus to be on a text box in a tab page when the application gets loaded?


Listen to the Form's Activate event and set focus on the text box (using the Focus method). The common mistake is to try to set Focus in the Form_Load event. This is not possible because no Controls are visible at this time and hence focus cannot be set at this time.
