Moves the keyboard focus to the specified command bar control. If the control is disabled or isn't visible, this method will fail.
Remarks
The focus on the control is subtle. After you use this method, you will notice a three dimensional highlight on the control. Pressing the arrow keys will navigate in the toolbars, as if you had arrived at the control by pressing only keyboard controls.
expression.SetFocus
expression Required. An expression that returns a CommandBarControl, CommandBarButton, CommandBarPopup, or CommandBarComboBox object.
Example
This example creates a command bar named "Custom" and adds a ComboBox control and a Button control to it. The example then uses the SetFocus method to set the focus to the ComboBox control.
Set focusBar = CommandBars.Add(Name:="Custom")
With CommandBars("Custom")
.Visible = True
.Position = msoBarTop
End With
Set testComboBox = CommandBars("Custom").Controls _
.Add(Type:=msoControlComboBox, ID:=1)
With testComboBox
.AddItem "First Item", 1
.AddItem "Second Item", 2
End With
Set testButton = CommandBars("Custom").Controls _
.Add(Type:=msoControlButton)
testButton.FaceId = 17
' Set the focus to the combo box.
testComboBox.SetFocus
