Setting Focus

[Technocrat]

Anyone know how to set the focus to a button on a form?
Or maybe how to change the tabstop order?

[Vlatko]

SendMessage(handleofbutton,WM_SETFOCUS,0,0);

You shouldnt use SendMessage, you should use SetFocus(hWnd).

How is there an easy way to get the hWnd of a button on my form??

hControl= GetDlgItem(hDialog, BUTTON_ID);

Thanks

Couldn't you use FindWindow to get a window's handle?


hWin = FindWindow(NULL,"Caption");

What if two windows have the same caption?

You get the first window created (I think). Anyway, you'll always have the handle, because if it's a dialogue, use GetDlgItem, and if it's window, you'd have received the handle in the call to CreateWindowEx.
