I like to display a InfoBox, but I want to keep the focus on the active control. How I can do that? I don't find a property on the infobox that says "getFocus" or something else, thanks

Thanks for the reply

I try with you suggestions (Activate, SetActiveWindow, Focus, DoEvent) but I cannot make the form got focus while the infobox is showing (except with a mouse click on the form)...

If I can't make it work, I will edit the infobox source to accept a parameter with the calling form to see if I can call form.activate() or form.focus() from there and see if it get the order

Thanks for the support, I known I'm try to make the stuff from another way that the framework works and it give me troubles, but I have to make the try because my boss have his needs to adapt from his FoxPro DOS App. and I are the only programmer and I convinced him to use .NET & SF

Well, I'm sorry, but I'm all out of ideas on trying to get the form to re-activate. 

Fabian,

Try this just to see if it works.  Use a timer to re-execute the activation of the form.  The problem could be that all of this is trying to execute on the same thread and so the re-activation never takes place.  Also, this is not an issue with SF, it has 100% to do with the way WinForms works.

InfoBox()
'-- You can reduce this to a smaller interval, but starting with 1 second will give you a good visual when  it executes.
MyTimer.Interval = 1000
MyTimer.Enabled = True

Timer Code
MyTimer.Enabled = False

'-- You might try just forcing the focus back to the control itself first.  You could then try
'   All of the other options previously mentioned in this thread if it doesn't work.
MyControlToFocus.Focus()

Thanks!!! It worked ok you got the solution, I not suppose that a timer can change the things, but you clarify me it.

Dim InfoboxTimer As New Timer()
InfoboxTimer.Interval = 50 'the min value that work ok for me...
AddHandler InfoboxTimer.Tick, AddressOf InfoboxTimer_Tick
InfoboxTimer.Enabled = True
MicroFour.StrataFrame.Messaging.InfoBox.DefaultTimeOut = 1000
MicroFour.StrataFrame.Messaging.InfoBox.NotifyBox("Title","description")

'Timer_Tick  handler
Private Sub InfoboxTimer_Tick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
      Dim Tmr As Timer = CType(sender, Timer)
      Tmr.Enabled = False
      Me.ParentForm.Activate() 'I coding on a user control... activate his form
      'Me.txtCodigo.Focus()
End Sub

Good.  I am glad that worked for you.  At some point all developers have the "Window Handle Blues."
