Here is what I tried:
I set the CancelButton property of the form to my cancel button.
I set the FocusOnCancel property to the listPage and it didn't do anything. Then I created a handler for the cancel button like below and it called the cancel alright, but didn't re-focus based on the FocusOnCancel property.

So I override the Cancel method for the form like I showed you (also shown below), and added the SetFocus() method and that didn't work either, so I just added a TabControl.SelectedIndex = 0 and that did the trick.

Maybe Kevin can elaborate more about the property and the method that should work. I will look at his code a little later to see what it does and maybe trace it in the debugger.
Tim

public override void Cancel()
{
	base.Cancel();
	// This didn't work
	this.SetFocus(this.ListPage);
	// But this did.
	this.TabControl.SelectedIndex = 0;
}

private void mmButtonCancel1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
	this.Cancel();
}
