I basically have a InputQuery Box with a TEdit control. I obtain the handles(HWND) of both the Box & the Control. My only issue is that when the InputBox is displayed the TEdit control isn't focused by default, I have to press a key to make it take keyboard focus. Is there anyway (PostMessage?) through which I can give the focus to TEdit Control. Originally the Window has the control since if I press Down Arrow, the Move,Close Menu appears on the InputBox. P.S. I've tried WM_ACTIVATE, SETFOCUS,WM_KEYDOWN('A'). None work however the KEYDOWN does print an 'A' in the TEdit control however the keyboard focus is still not belonging to it.
