Chris,

How are you closing the form (close, hide, dispose....)? and is the SIP
enabled when the form is being closed? If you could post more of your code
it would help.
I'm also curious if there is a main menu associated with the form.

hi..i didn't set the form to close, hide or dispose...besides, the SIP is not
enabled when the form is being close.i've included the main menu as well but
not sure why i got the error.whenever the focus is on the textfield, it will
prompt the error.how should i remove the focus ?

well, you could pick some other control on the form and call it's .Focus()
method,
before closing the form, but the real question here is why are you getting
an exception
with the SIP enabled when you close your form. if you post the code for the
entire form,
I bet we can figure it out.

I am also having the same type of problems. I do have a mainmenu tied to my
form with a "File/Open" command that has no code tied to it right now. It
was working previously.

I can create a new project with basically the same code (enabled/disable
upon textbox focus) and it works just fine.

Setting the "inputpanel1.enabled = True" shouldn't cause an exception unless
it's looking for something to exist on the form that's not. The exception
message is totally useless, thanks Microsoft.

There must be something simple that we're missing and I just haven't found
it yet.
