Focus()

[RealNickyDude]

After selecting something from a Treeview, how do I shift focus to something else? Here's the code:

Private Sub TreeView1_AfterSelect(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.TreeViewEventArgs) Handles TreeView1.AfterSelect
        Try
            CodeDirectory = e.Node.Parent.Text
            code = "code\" & CodeDirectory & "\" & e.Node.Text & ".rtf"
            rtbcodewindow.LoadFile(code, RichTextBoxStreamType.RichText)
        Catch ex As Exception
            'MessageBox.Show(ex.Message)
        End Try
        [b]rtbcodewindow.Focus()[/b]
    End Sub

I thought rtbcodewindow.Focus() would automatically shift the focus to the RichTextBox called rtbcodewindow, but it doesn't.

Anyone any ideas?

I dunno what you mean but this works for me :

RichTextBox1.Focus()

You'd think so wouldn't you, nice and simple rtbcodewindow.focus(), but no. This is really for people with a mouse wheel (like myself), this is what happens:

1/. Open a parent node
2/. Select a child node
3/. Chosen text appears in Code Window.

This is what's supposed to happen
4/. Focus jumps to Code Window (Richtextbox<rtbcodewindow>)
5/. Flashing caret in Code Window
6/. User uses mouse wheel to move up and down through the code.

This is what actually happens
4/. Focus stays on Treeview
5/. No Flashing caret anywhere
6/. Moving the mouse wheel moves the Treeview left and right to show out of view text.

If I click on the Code Window, everythings ok, but otherwise I can't get the focus on the richtextbox
