The cursor is not positioned in the middle of the text box after setfocus

[rap]

Hi Guys,

Can anyone help me with this problem.

Once I press the Tab button inside a text box, the cursor must be positioned in another text box. I used setfocus command to do it. However, once the cursor is on the other text box it is not at the center. It appears that a tab space is introduce hence it is not on the center of the textbox. I have already set the property of the text box's Text Align to fmTextAlignCenter and yet everytime the second text box has the focus it is not at the center but rather after the tab space that was introduced.

Thanks guys, hope to hear from you soon.

In the event code you apparently have but did not show, when you set the focus to Textbox2 (or whatever its name is) try also
TextBox2.SelStart = Int(Len(TextBox2) / 2)
If the control is empty it should not error. If it contains an odd number of characters, the cursor should end up just left of what center would otherwise be.
