Hi all.

In a lot of my apps, the need arises to have a SetFocus in the Valid method but VFP does not allow this. There does not seem to me to be any good reason for this.

Consider the folowing screen, with say 4 Cmd buttons:
cmdUpdate
cmdEnq1
cmdEnq2
cmdReport

In the cmdUpdate, there is a bunch of code that Updates a whole pile of files and if this runs ok, I want to set focus on the cmdreport button.

Now if I tab past these buttons,I dont want to set focus to the cmdReport so I cannot put the SetFocus code in the lostFocus of the cmdUpdate.
(I know I can disable the cmdReport button but lets ignore this for the purpose of the discussion)


Why cant I use the setfocus in the Valid event where would seem to be the most logical place.

Can this be done in VFP7 ?


Regards,

Gerard
