Armin,

You probably will have to set the focus back to the control that had focus previously. You can add a property to the form (call it oCurrentControl, for example). Or, better yet, add it to your form class. In your custom control classes, in the gotfocus() method, you could put something like:

&& you should check that thisform.oCurrentControl exists first...
thisform.oCurrentControl = this

Then in rightClick() method of the commandbutton:

if vartype(thisform.oCurrentControl) = "O"  && also, check out PEMStatus(), getPEMStatus(), 
                                            && you may want to call it to make sure the setfocus()
                                            && method really exists...although it shouldn't be
                                            && necessary if the only place that sets oCurrentControl to
                                            && an object is an object that has setfocus()
    thisform.oCurrentControl.setfocus()
endif

This is just the basic concept; you will have to work with a little to make it bulletproof for all situations.

Let me know if you need more info...
