easy question ?

[ostelen]

Hello,

I am building a software in WinForm C#.

When the window is opening, the cursor of the mouse should be placed in the textBox1.

This is the code i am using when the windows is opening, but it doesnt work:
textBox1.TabIndex = 0;
textBox1.Select(0,0);
textBox1.Focus();

The cursor is not in the textbox1, so i have to press the button "TAB" each time the window is opening to be able to enter my text

Does someone have an idea ?

Thx

you need to set the tab order for the form so that the text box is number 0.

click view->tab order from the menu and click on the controls in the order you want the form to prompt for them in.

good luck,

put the code in
private void Form1_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
}
