I imagine the focus to your edit box is happening prior to the default focus to
the close button. Try queuing your control manipulation by doing something like:
If DEvent = DialogCreated Then
Queue "DialogInit", dObj
. . .
Sub DialogInit(dObj)
dObj.Control( "Box1" ).Text = FormatNumber( "2764.2345")
dObj.Control( "Box2" ).Focus()
End Sub

>
> Have a dialog screen, made up of two Editboxes (Box1 and Box2), along with
> a handful buttons, also a Button texted "Close", and set with the system field
> to CLOSE. All the dialog has been created with UIDesign.
>
> When I open the dialog, I want to have the cursor go directly to the second
> Editbox (Box2), as this is the box where the user-input will take place.

> In my Dialog Event Handling function, I therefore made the following lines:

> Select Case dID

> ...
> Case Else
> If DEvent = DialogCreated Then
> dObj.Control( "Box1" ).Text = FormatNumber( "2764.2345")
> dObj.Control( "Box2" ).Focus
> EHMainDialog = True
> Exit Function
> ElseIf dEvent = dialogClosing Then
> Set DObj = Nothing
> Set DControl = Nothing
> EHMainDialog = True
> End If 'DialogCreated.

> Issue is, everytime I open the dialog, the cursor lands on the Close-button -
