I want my form to open with the cursor blinking in a text box ready for the
user to start typing. I tried using the txtBox.focus() method in the
Form_Load event but that doesn't work. Any suggestions?
 
First in the Form's designer, set the textboxes TAB INDEX to 0. Then the
rest of your code should work. Providing you don't have any other control's
TAB INDEX set to 0.

Click to expand...

Assign the lowest 'TabIndex' to the textbox.
