>>>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?

>It is, and that's what I thought would happen, but for some reason another control in the container is getting the focus. It's actually a fairly complicated class, but I can't seem to find anything changing the Tab Order. Is there anything else that could affect the order coming into a container of controls?

I think Craig had, under "setting the tab order of the container" meant the tab order of the controls inside the container. To check that, rightclick the container and click Edit (or if it's a class unto itself, open that class for editing), and then proceed setting the tab order of the contained controls. Make sure your EntryTextBox has .taborder=1 and you shouldn't need any code.
