>I find it strange that when I set focus to a container object which has user controls on it, the focus goes to any of the controls on the container, but not the one that is set TabStop = 1.

When I TAB into the container, it does move first to the first control etc, so there is a difference between setting the focus with TAB or by calling SetFocus().

I was wondering if somebody has a workaround for this, other than overwriting the SetFocus() of the container or create a custom method that does the focus thing, because that would be quite an overhead in the application.

I have never seen what you describe. But as a workaround, you could use THISFORM.cntMyContainer.myControl.SetFocus()
