hi,

this is my code.

1 btn1.Text = "abc";
2 btn2.Text = "xyz";

3 new IdPwd().ShowDialog();

4 this.txttransferno.Focus();


on line# 3 a new form is opened. in this new form's Exit button i m using

    this.close();

the porblem is that after the closing of new form it's parent Form from it was called is not appearing/focused
i.e. line# 4 seems useless.

however if i use a message box after line#3 i.e.

3 new IdPwd().ShowDialog();

4 MessageBox.Show("Closed"); // this MessageBox must be replaced by a mechanism that foucuses this form.

5 this.txttransferno.Focus();


now the parent form is getting focued after close of new from i.e. line#5 is now valid.

How can i get focus parent form without using a MessageBox at line# 4.

Please help.

Arif.

Hi

shouldn't you be referencing your newley created form ie idPwd.Focus rather than a textbox. to give the textbox focus set the tab order on the idPwd form.
