Tracy, is control.TabIndex property of any help in your situation?

>I have many forms with multiple pages in a pageframe. About half of these are based on a class and the other half are not. In those that are not based on a class, I have the same code in every form's keypress:

>This works fine because I named the first control on every page 'controltop.' The last control on every page is named 'controlbottom' for the same reason. I also put code in each page's click and dblclick to set focus to the first control on the page so that when the user clicks on a pagetab, focus is on the first control on the page. This is important because F5 is used on most controls to run another popup form when editing detail for the item in the 1st control. If focus in on the pagetab and the user presses F5 (thinking they should be on the first control after clicking on the pagetab) then the default command button on the bottom of the form is clicked and the user is asked if they want to save and exit the form. All of this is working fine and I have no problems.

>I need to implement the same functionality on the other set of forms which all are derived from the same form class. The other half of the forms based on a form class do not do this in anymeans so far. Each control on every page has a unique name. Since all forms are based on the class, I would like to be able to determine what the first control in the tab order on the page is so I can set focus to it in the keypress event of the form (as well as the page's click and dblclick) as in the example above. I would like to do this without having unique code in every form's keypress and every page's click and dblclick(). There are a LOT of forms that meet this condition.
