Grids, Message Boxes and Focus

[Doug Finke]

We have an MDI application using the TabbedMDIManager. MDIChildren have a Syncfusion Databound Grid.

I have two children up. I am handling the paste from the clipboard. If the paste gets an error, I Show a message box.

I press enter for the message and then an arrow key.

Rather than changing to another cell in the grid, it switches to the other mdi child.

I parent the MessageBox to this ( and tried to this.grid ). After the Message Box display I also tried grid.Focus().

These approaches did not anchor the focus.

Any thoughts?

Did not try these as I do not have such a sample set up, but before calling grid.Focus(), you might try calling one or both of these.

this.ActiveControl = grid;
this.ActiveMdiChild = grid;
grid.Focus();
