hi
I have a dialog and on it I have a ctreectrl and other controls. my problem is on selchanging event of tree view in some states (for example data validation) I need prevent changing the tree view selection but when I preventing the change the focus stays on tree view, I need focus returned to previous control before changing the selection. how do it?
I use SetFocus to set focus on other control on selchanging notification of treeview but not work and focus still stay on tree view.
Thanks

Thanks.
