ToolStrip.Select Method (Boolean, Boolean)

.NET Framework 4

Other Versions

Activates a child control. Optionally specifies the direction in the tab order to select the control from.

Namespace: System.Windows.Forms
Assembly: System.Windows.Forms (in System.Windows.Forms.dll)

Syntax

C++

Copy

protected override void Select(
	bool directed,
	bool forward
)

Parameters

directed: Type: System.Boolean
true to specify the direction of the control to select; otherwise, false.

forward: Type: System.Boolean
true to move forward in the tab order; false to move backward in the tab order.

Remarks

The directed and forward parameters are used by container-style controls. When the directed parameter is set to true, the forward parameter is evaluated to determine which control to select. When forward is set to true, the next control in the tab order is selected; when false, the previous control in the tab order is selected.

The Select method activates the control if the control's ControlStyles.Selectable style bit is set to true, it is contained in another control, and all its parent controls are both visible and enabled.
