I have a container with a textbox in it on a form. The container is invisible until the user enters a certain value in a textbox (external to the container). In the Valid() of the external textbox, I make the container visible to accept input in the textbox in the container.
Here's my problem: I want the focus (and the cursor) to be on the textbox in the container as soon as it becomes visible so the user will be there and ready to enter text. VFP will not permit a SetFocus() from within a Valid(). How can I place the user's cursor in the textbox as soon as it is made visible by code in the other textbox's Valid()? I tried adjusting the Tab Order, making the container textbox the next tab number after the first textbox, but that doesn't seem to work.
TIA
Jim
