Focus a control of a Windows Form
Shows how to focus a control in a Windows Form.
If you are working with Web forms it is very simple,
you just use "WebControl.Focus()" but this does not
work for Windows Forms...
// A example event: private void btnExampleCommand_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { // That's all: this.ActiveControl = this.SomeControlObject; // This line focuses a control }
