    Controls Tab Order

    Hi
    I have an edit control on a form which has been created in visualC++.NET. I am having trouble setting up some kind of tab order or focus order on this form. Basically, when the form is loaded I want the edit control to be active with its contents highlighted, thus allowing the user to easily append to the current text or immediately start typing over current text.

    Any ideas?

    Thank You

    The form editor should have a way of setting the tab order. So does the dialog editor. Just make sure that the edit control is the first in the tab order and it should automatically receive focus.

    Thanks

    Just had to look a little harder, I'm used to the VB dialog editor. Got my first C++ GUI working.

    Cheers
