What happened to setfocus? 1

[wendas]

My co-worker and I are new to VB.net from VB6.. We have read & taken on-line courses all telling us the differences. I searched before posting to see if anyone else was mystified, no one is.. But we can't find the ability to do a command.setfocus anymore.. We used this all the time! What's the workaround?

Thanks,
Wenda

Controls now have a .Focus property. So you can determine if a control has Focus and you can set any control to have focus:

if txtField.Focus then btnOK.Focus = True

The SetFocus method has been replaced with the Select method. For example, to set focus to a command button:

Button1.Select()
