ControlSetFocus()

Previous Next

Moves the cursor (the input focus) to a different control.

Syntax

ControlSetFocus([<option>])

The option parameter is optional. If you provide an option parameter, this parameter will determine the control that the cursor moves to. Alternatively, call the ControlSetFocus method of the object you want the cursor to move to, and in this case do not provide an option parameter.

Parameters

option

Possible options are:

cancel gives the Cancel button the focus and calls the button function

(as if the user pressed ESC).

default gives the default button the focus and calls the button function

(as if the user pressed ENTER).

next jumps to the next control (equivalent to Tab)

previous jumps to the previous control (equivalent to Shift +Tab)
