When You Cant Move A Control

Have you ever used the GoToControl or SetFocus method to select a control and had it fail to work as expected? These methods might not work for several reasons, which aren't always obvious. When this happens to you, check for the following first:

  • Are you trying to give focus to a control that can't receive focus? Not all controls can receive the focus. The label control is one of these control types that can't receive the focus.
  • The control's Visible property must be set to Yes. If the control's Visible property is set to No, that control can't receive the focus.
  • The control's Enable property must be set to Yes. An enabled control can't receive the focus.
So, if you have trouble with one of these methods, check these three conditions.
