HowTo Textbox.Focus with a Panel

[=?Utf-8?B?anAybXNmdA==?=]

I have several applications that use panels as screens for different parts of
our application.

Panel1.BringToF ront()
Panel1_Textbox. Focus()
' do something with a control on Panel1
Panel2.BringToF ront()
Panel2_Textbox. Focus()
' do something with a control on Panel2

When the applications are running, I can see the Textbox controls receiving
focus for an instant, then Nothing has focus!

How do I set the Focus on the Textbox controls ... and have it STAY there?

Where is this code, in what procedure?

Re: HowTo Textbox.Focus with a Panel

It is scattered throughout my code.

It is placed in the Form_Load() first, but that does not work.

If they click the Login button, the Login_Clicked event has
Login_Panel.Bri ngToFront() and Login_Textbox.F ocus(), but the Textbox never
receives focus.

After the successfully log in, I call Partnumber_Pane l.BringToFront( ) and
Partnumber_Text box.Focus(), but the Textbox there never receives focus either.

This happens in other applications, too. Not just this one instance. So, I
presume I am doing something incorrect.

Any thoughts?

Nobody knows how to do this, I take.

Either that, or people on this group just don't understand my question.

To clarify my previous. The MouseEnter event for the panel.

MouseEnter event for the panel. Understood. I'll give that a go on Monday
(long weekend). Thanks!
