Do you mean the OK button is the active control? &nbsp;The easiest way to make a particular control active is to just make it first in the tab order.<br />
<br />
If you mean the mouse cursor, first you have to disable the code that is currently moving it, and then call SetCursorPos with the position you want in a place that gets called automatically right after the window is displayed for the first time. &nbsp;Offhand, I'd think in the WM_ONERASEBACKGROUND handler with a bool to detect whether this is the first time it is called.<br />

GoToDlgCtrl(GetDlgItem(IDC<wbr />_EDIT1)) ;

If you do use GoToDlgCtrl you will need to do it in the OnInitDialog handler and change the handler to return FALSE.<br />
<br />
Like I said, it may be easier to just change the tab order.<br />

Hi all,<br />
<br />
I have created a dialog box with few edit controls in it. When the application runs the cursor parks on OK button. I want it to park on one of the edit controls. How should I do that?<br />
<br />
Thanks
