Top-level (frame) windows normally do not receive focus. A VB form is a
top-level window and I am nearly certain they don't receive focus either.
The only exception is when a window (form) does not have any children, such
as controls.
You will need to subclass the form. Then process the WM_ACTIVATE message for
the form. One of the VB experts might have an easier solution, but I think
that will do what you need.
