Possible workaround

The following sort of thing seems to work OK

Sub AttemptSetFocus(myControl)
     On Error Goto ERR_SF
     For X = 1 to 5
         myControl.SetFocus
         Exit Sub
    
         ERR_SF:
         DoEvents
     Next
End Sub


(Note this is not real code. Just to give the idea).

I have some vb textboxes on a Frame which is on a Tab control. All this is on a Form in an MDI child using DockingPane.

To move user from one text box to another, I use  textbox(x).SetFocus

This 95% works OK, but sometimes gives error.
I think this error is same as if textbox is not enabled or not visible.

I guess this is a timing error or similar.  Most times the SetFocus is fine. But sometimes I guess the DockingPane is busy doing something and the SetFocus gives error.   (without the DockingPane it always works OK.)


Any ideas to workaround this?
