How do I set focus to a text field in a property grid?

This code does not work:

CXTPPropertyGridItem* l_pItem = m_wndPropertyGrid.FindItem(pt_IDS_PROP_WIRE_NAME);

if (l_pItem)

{

l_pItem->SetFocusToInplaceControl();

}

-------------
Thank you

Hello,

You need call OnSelect() before SetFocusToInplaceControl(),

However OnSelect() is protected, you need to inherit CXTPPropertyGridItem and add method to public call this method.

    CXTPPropertyGridItem *l_pItem = m_wndPropertyGrid.FindItem(pt_IDS_PROP_WIRE_NAME);    if (l_pItem)
    {
        l_pItem->OnSelect();
        l_pItem->SetFocusToInplaceControl();
    }

Regards,
