Edit box Focus

[PepsiHog]

Hello Everyone,
I can not remember how to set focus to an object. The object is an edit box. When the dialog opens I want the cursor to be in this particular edit box.

Will you refresh my memory how to do this?

Thanks,
PepsiHog

Set focus on the dialog instead of the element?

Use SetDialogObjectFocus>

Code: Select all

Dialog>Dialog1
object Dialog1: TForm
  Left = 551
  Top = 216
  HelpContext = 5000
  BorderIcons = [biSystemMenu]
  Caption = 'CustomDialog'
  ClientHeight = 211
  ClientWidth = 476
  Color = clBtnFace
  Font.Charset = DEFAULT_CHARSET
  Font.Color = clWindowText
  Font.Height = -11
  Font.Name = 'MS Sans Serif'
  Font.Style = []
  OldCreateOrder = True
  ShowHint = True
  OnTaskBar = False
  PixelsPerInch = 96
  TextHeight = 13
  object Edit1: TEdit
    Left = 133
    Top = 19
    Width = 121
    Height = 21
    TabOrder = 8
    Text = 'Edit1'
  end
  object Edit2: TEdit
    Left = 135
    Top = 58
    Width = 121
    Height = 21
    TabOrder = 9
    Text = 'Edit2'
  end
  object Edit3: TEdit
    Left = 135
    Top = 97
    Width = 121
    Height = 21
    TabOrder = 10
    Text = 'Edit3'
  end
  object Edit4: TEdit
    Left = 135
    Top = 134
    Width = 121
    Height = 21
    TabOrder = 11
    Text = 'Edit4'
  end
end
EndDialog>Dialog1

SetDialogObjectFocus>Dialog1,Edit3
