Hi, the focus method doesn't seem to work on page change.
I am using tabcontrol.

What I have tried:

I have tried to do textbox.focus() in methods Selecting, and SelectedIndexChanged, in both I have the focus() as last called method but it doesn't change the focus instead the focus is set on a button.
Maybe I am missing something?

perhaps you show us the relevant code ...
Is your Textbox on one of the TabPages or outside the TabControl ?

Disable the timer again?

There are "tab / tab control" interaction "events" you should be working with. i.e. One can't focus what hasn't been fully "selected". Which may require storing inforation for a "future" event to act on ... i.e. (optionally) focus on "this"; or do that; "after" the selected event has fired. One must be aware of current state; and how it can change.
