No focus

[daklem]

Hi all.

Is there a way to open a form without any of the fields on the form having focus, or will the first field in the tab order always have focus?

Other than by setting the Enabled property of every control to False, I don't think so.

Alternatively you could create an Unbound Textbox, set its Left, Top, Width and Height to 0 and its BackColor to that of the Form and SpecialEffect to Flat. Set it to 0 in TabOrder.


hope this helps.

EarthandFire's second method is the one I've used numerous times for this purpose!

Thanks earthandfire and missingling for your responses.

The unbound text box worked just fine.
