[SOLVED]Automaticaly set input to TEdit1

[Kevinn33]

Hello, I want to ask about how to input automatically to TEdit when the form is open?

example, i want a barcode scanner to directly write on TEdit without Click the TEdit

[balazsszekely]

Like this:

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. Edit1.Text := 'this is a test';

[Kevinn33]

ehm its not what i want..

what i mean is, when you run a program whatever input from keyboard or barcode goes directly to TEdit without even click the TEdit box

i dont know how to do this

[balazsszekely]

Click to your form, go to Object Inspector and set ActiveControl property to Edit1. You can also do it programmatically like Edit1.SetFocus.

Thanks!, That is what i wanted.
Thank you GetMem for teaching simple things 
and it also work using
ActiveControl := TEdit;

Use the OnActivate event

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. procedure TForm1.FormActivate(Sender: TObject);
2. begin
3.   Edit1.SetFocus;
4. end;    

PS: In the meantime you deleted your last question. I assume you figured out the answer.

@GetMem hahahaha  I thought no one would see my last question,

yes yes I Figure it out by putting ActiveControl := TEdit; on Buttonclick( Back to Form 1 ) Procedure

I thought I should be able to figure this out so I deleted the question.

I think asking too much for simple thing without trying it is not a good way to learn coding
I Respect people who teach me, so I wont ask too much as its like using them.
