Description

Sets the input focus on the user control that is specified by userControlID. Only one control (either user or native) can have the input focus at any one time.

The control with the input focus is the one that receives keyboard and mouse input. You can set the focus to a user control so that it will be the recipient of keyboard and mouse messages.

The input focus is lost when the user clicks outside of the control, or tabs outside of it.
