webbrowser stealing focus

[yeah1000]

Hello, i am using a webbrowser control on my form together with textboxes. What i need is that when i load the form the cursor will be in textbox, but instead the webbrowser "steals focus". I have tried using the Focus() property for the textbox in just about anywhere now but it still wont work. Also i have tried creating event handlers for webbrowser's different events (GotFocus, Validated etc) but nothing seems to work. The only thing that worked was the DocumentCompleted handler, which can make the cursor go to the textbox but not when the form loads, which is strange, since i have the browser go to a web page when the form loads (after InitializeComponent). TY

What you need to do is set the Tab Order. This indicates which controls get the input focus in which order when you press tab to switch between them. The lowest tab order control gets the focus first on form load. Simple. Tab order is initialy assigned in order of control creation, so if you create your browser first, then create the textboxes, the browser gets the focus.

I forgot to mention it, but tab order has been set properly. The cursor still goes to google.com's search bar (google.com is the site being automatically loaded into webbrowser at startup).

Just tried it, with a browser docked in a panel, and a textbox with button outside the panel. Set URL to "http:\\www.Google.co.uk" in design properties, TabIndex is Textbox = 0, button = 1, panel = 2.0 Works fine, Cursor in textbox on form load. How is this different from yours?

Its not different. When i do the same thing, the cursor automatically goes to webbrowser :( I just discovered that the problem exists only with some pages (google, orkut, youtube, hotmail etc). When i use any of my local sites (.ee) then it works just fine. Why is that so? google and microsoft using some fancy scripts?
