set focus on textfied

jks

Hi all,

Can't i set focus to a particular textfield on a form in OnDeactivate() trigger of the same field?

e.g textfield is DataPath. If path is incorrect i want to set focus to the same field.
DataPath: OnDeactivate()
{
if path is incorrect then
currform.DataPath.activate;
}
Above code doesn't set focus on DataPath field.
Please help.

And why you don't use Error?

If you want to do it without message, you can use Error('');
