I have a custom form with an HTML Editor control . This is a 10.0.23 environment and the "New HTML editor" feature is enabled. I have a request that when the user tab through certain fields on the form they then want the tab stop to land on the editor with it ready to type. This does not seem possible. I've tried adding EditorControl.SetFocus() from various events and it does set the focus but only on the container and NOT on the area of the control that would allow you to actually type in Data as happens when you click into the control. It appears that the elements of this control are built at runtime and thus not accessible. Has anyone had a similar experience or have any insight on how I can get this to work. I did have a look at the HTMLEditor class but so far no clues.

Best Regards,

Don Shields

If anyone is interested I did find that after setting focus you can hit ALT+DownArrow keys and you are able to edit text. Have now found a code workaround however to simulate those keys.
