>I have a container that contains a textbox and a dropdown. When the mouse is clicked over the texbox, or the container is tabbed into, I want the textbox to have the focus. When the mouse is clicked over the dropdown, I want that to have the focus. I put code originally into the container.gotfocus like this:
>

>THIS.EntryTextBox.SetFocus
>

>But that causes problems when you click over the dropdown, the textbox gets the focus, then a 2nd click allows the dropdown to get the focus. How can I make this work?

May be you should determine which control to put focus depending on mouse position in the container's GotFocus? In other words, analyze the current mouse coordinates?
