I am setting focus to combobox as combobox.select() in a thread by using the delegate. But only after changing the ALT+TAB to another window the combobox is getting focused.

How to solve this problem...

Please help me...

Thanks in advance...

The code is here...
=============

Private Delegate Sub cmbusersetfocus()
Private Sub combouser()
If Me.InvokeRequired Then
' if operating on a thread, invoke a delegate
' on the UI thread.
Dim omd As cmbusersetfocus = New cmbusersetfocus(AddressOf combouser)
Dim arx As IAsyncResult = Me.BeginInvoke(omd)
Me.EndInvoke(arx)

If cmbuser.Focus = False Then

cmbuser.Select()

End If

'cmbuser.Focus()
'Form1.Activate()


' End If

'MsgBox("test")

Return

End If
End Sub

Put ComboBox.Select(); in the form_load event handler.
