I have used the tree view control before (assuming that's what MSComctlLibTreeCtrl.2 is) and don't recall any problem like what you are experiencing. But I have never used the Slider control. There are a few other tree view controls that you might try. I use the Stonefield one which I think is freely available from them. I actually got it from a FoxTalk article some time back. Maybe you could try that one out and see if the problem goes away.

This seems kind of odd to me, however --- I can't believe that this is a normal problem -- I doubt my uniqueness in that regard. What if I had a couple of 'em on a form, what then?

(but then again setting focus to them wouldn't work unless they were visible), if dropping them on the form at design time, maybe as a work around you can set focus to them first so they become visible and then set focus to the control you actually want to have focus.
