Barcode cursor control

[davidpm]

I have an application where the user can position their cursor in a combo box and use a hand held scanner to read in number from a bar code on a label.

I have it programmed (I created the label) so the number is entered into the combo box a tab is pressed the cursor moves to the next field which is a command button that accepts the entry and the enter key is pressed.

This works great.



What I would like is to have the cursor go back to the combo box automatically so anther label can be scanned.

I am using 3of9 encoding and shift tab is apparently not part of that specification so I can't put that as part of the label code.

Is their any way you can think of, perhaps an event connected the command button, that would move the cursor back to the combo box?

in button click event:

cboBox.setfocus

As ranman256 says, use the SetFocus property to set the focus to the control you want.
I would use

Me.YourCtrlName.SetFocus

Change "YourCtrlName" to your combo box name.

Worked perfectly. Thank you very, very much.
I had tried setfocus but for some reason I was thinking it had to be in another event.
