SETFOCUS

Description

This causes Windows to give input focus to this control. This means that, if some other control in the same window was highlighted and active, this control now becomes the highlighted and active control, receiving mouse and keyboard input.

Syntax

controlType #handle.ext "setfocus"
controlType #handle.ext "!setfocus"

Hints

Controls with captions, or that can receive text input, have an exclamation point (!) preceding the "setfocus" command. The exclamation point distinguishes a command from the text or caption.

Example

    nomainwin
