I did not backup my souce file and now it's lost.
Now I am trying to rewrite it but when I get to the point of "TextBox.BingToFront" then try "TextBox2.Focus" I dont get focus.
I get TextBox.2 to the front but I have to click in texbox feild to get focus.

B4X: 
Sub Globals
   'Declare the global variables here.
Dim focused 'saves the focused textbox name
End Sub

Sub App_Start
   Form1.Show
ImageButtonExit.BringToFront   
   flib.new1("form1",B4PObject(1))
 flib.fullscreen(CPPC)
  End Sub

Sub InitializeControls

 alTextBox.Add("textbox1")
 alTextBox.Add("textbox2")
 alTextBox.Add("textbox3")

For i = 1 To 11 'Adds the click event to all regular number buttons.
  AddEvent("Button" & i, Click, "Numbers_Click")
 Next
 For i = 0 To altextbox.Count -1'Adds the gotfocus event to all textboxes.
  AddEvent(altextbox.Item(i),GotFocus, "TextBoxes_GotFocus")
 Next
 focused = altextbox.Item(0)
 Control(focused).Focus
End Sub

Sub TextBoxes_GotFocus
 focused = Sender.Name
End Sub

Sub Numbers_Click 'Handles 0-9 and '.'
 st = Control(focused).SelectionStart
 txt = Control(focused).Text 
 If Sender.Text = "." Then 'checks for multiple periods.
  i = StrIndexOf(txt,".",0)
  If i = -1 Then Goto ok
  sl = Control(focused).SelectionLength
  If sl > 0 Then
   If   StrIndexOf(SubString(txt,st,sl),".",0) > -1 Then Goto ok
  End If
  Control(focused).Focus
  Return
 End If
 ok:
 If Control(focused).SelectionLength > 0 Then
  Control(focused).Text = StrRemove(txt,st, Control(focused).SelectionLength)
 End If
 Control(focused).Text = StrInsert(Control(focused).Text,st,Sender.Text)
 Control(focused).SelectionLength = 0
 Control(focused).SelectionStart = st + 1
 Control(focused).Focus

End Sub

Sub ButtonBS_Click 'Backspace
 st = Control(focused).SelectionStart
 txt = Control(focused).Text 
 If Control(focused).SelectionLength > 0 Then
  Control(focused).Text = StrRemove(txt,st, Control(focused).SelectionLength)
  Control(focused).SelectionStart = st
 Else If st > 0 Then
  Control(focused).Text = StrRemove(txt,st-1,1)
  Control(focused).SelectionStart = st - 1
 End If
 Control(focused).SelectionLength = 0
 Control(focused).Focus
End Sub

Sub ImageButtonExit_Click
Form1.Close

You need to post the actual sbp file so that we get the form and controls with their layout otherwise we can't see what is going on.
Click to expand...

As AGraham states, the sbp file allows other people to 'see' your application 'for real'.

I noticed your original post had a spelling typo (mistake) in it. Does your code ? I didn't look. :sign0013:

Ok. So I've looked at it. The only part of your code that isn't text formatted.

ButtonEnterLayer.BringToFront
TextBox2.BringToFront
TextBox2.Focus
PanelNumPad.BringToFront
Click to expand...

Is there a LF missing in your code. Was it written on the device ?

EDIT: It doesn't show here :-(

There are image files missig!!!!!
Anyway....Every time you bring a control to front, it gets focused, so you should only set the focus as the LAST "action" statement in the sub...
ie:
B4X: 
Sub ButtonPPH_Click
PanelBGH.BringToFront
PanelFGH.BringToFront
ButtonEnterPPH.BringToFront
TextBox1.BringToFront            'TextBoxes 1,2 and 3 are on form1
TextBox1.Focus
PanelNumPad.BringToFront [COLOR="Red"]THIS STEALS THE FOCUS[/COLOR]
ImageButtonExitNum.BringToFront[COLOR="Red"]THIS STEALS THE FOCUS[/COLOR]
InitializeControls[COLOR="Red"]THIS STEALS THE FOCUS[/COLOR]
End Sub
