Focus returns true/false success. Note that synchronous ordering when working
with controls can sometimes cause your values to get reset. If you are calling
the Focus method from within an event handler, try using:
private delegate bool BooleanMethodInvoker();
public void Some_EventHandler(...) {
myTextBox.BeginInvoke(new BooleanMethodInvoker(myTextBox.Focus));
}
An examination of using the invoke methods can be found here:
