Quick question: how do I make sure that the solitary child window in my main window receives the focus when the window is first created?
Just putting SetFocus(hwndChild) in the creation message handler doesn't work.

Hello,
Quick question: how do I make sure that the solitary child window in my main window receives the focus when the window is first created?

Presumably there is also a control in the window that you wish to ensure has focus. Use SetFocus(that_control) as well.
Also make sure you return FALSE is you set the focus to a control or TRUE if you don't set the focus in the WM_CREATE or WM_INITDIALOG msg.
