Do you think my workaround is not a good one? I added this.txtLanguage.SetFocus in the container's Init event and the issue was resolved.

BTW, I tried now thisform.Draw in form's Init and I tried this.txtLanaguage.visible = .t. in the Init of the container - didn't work.

See my other related problems. My main problem now is how to save correctly information I typed in this control (in a different language) into SQL Server.
