VB.NET TabControl getting focus

[Tedioboy]

Hi there!

Help me, please, in a litle question.

I have developping a litle aplication that have a listbox named Mes and a TabControl named Tabelas with two Tabs.
In Mes I have the months of the year.
In Tabelas I have one Tab named Norm (to display data about Normal Work) and one named Extra (to display data about Extraordinary Work).
All I want is, if the second tab (Extra) is selected, that the one tab (Norm) will be selected when Mes index became changed by the user.

For that, I use this code

Private Sub Mes_SelectedIndexChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Mes.SelectedIndexChanged

If Tabelas.SelectedIndex = 1 Then Tabelas.SelectedIndex = 0

End Sub

The problem is, in case of using the cursor keypad, when the user changes the index of Mes, the focus goes to the Norm tab contents and becames impossible to continue listing the values in Mes.
The only solution I have is adding the line

Mes.Select()

in Mes_SelectedIndexChanged sub to make the focus return to Mes listbox after the execution of the code.

My question is:
Are there an alternative way to do this?
I mean, another way to select the first Tab in TabControl Tabelas without giving it the focus?

Thanks in advance and sorry my english (I'm from Portugal).

Best regards.

probably not

you have to select the tab to select it so by selecting it gets focus

odly what you might expect
