>>>I have a form in DOS that has acces to a modal find form. It can be from a push button either by a keystroke ( enter key or hot-key ) or by clicking with the mouse. Unfortunately when using the mouse the first selected array popup is not highlighted, so that the user is not sure where they are on the form. If I use a keystroke, this does not happen.

Only two thoughts:

One, when working with arrays, I've always used the array subscript as the variable. Naturally, if _TALLY returns 0, the popup is disabled.

Two, and this is a bit of a trick, you could use _CUROBJ to initially set the focus to the popup, then in it's when clause, set a variable to send the focus to the first object on the screen, and indicate that this had already been done. Some like

IF NOT m.setfocus
m.setfocus = .T.
_CUROBJ = 1
ENDIF

An admitted kludge, but...
