>Sure. But I don't promise to be able to try it right away - I'm battling with Transforms at the moment !

OK, then. I'll wait till it's more complete. It has come a long way, but I'm still tweeking on it.

Did you look at the screenshot?



>But did Keyboard.Focus() work ?

Did not. Same exact result.

If I call the SetActivePattern() method programmatically, focus does change to the textbox.

But, when if I click on the listview, and it's lvHolePatterns_SelectionChanged() method fires, which calls SetActivePattern(), it does not change focus. The listview hold on somehow.
