Property Value

true if the control can receive focus; otherwise, false.
In order for a control to receive input focus, the control must have a handle assigned to it, and the Visible and Enabled properties must both be set to true for both the control and all its parent controls, and the control must be a form or the control's outermost parent must be a form.
The following code example sets focus to the specified Control, if it can receive focus.
Public Sub ControlSetFocus(control As Control)
' Set focus to the control, if it can receive focus.
If control.CanFocus Then
control.Focus()
End If
End Sub
public void ControlSetFocus(Control control)
{
// Set focus to the control, if it can receive focus.
if(control.CanFocus)
{
control.Focus();
}
}
public:
void ControlSetFocus( Control^ control )
{
// Set focus to the control, if it can receive focus.
if ( control->CanFocus )
{
control->Focus();
}
