• Windows Forms Radiobutton focus oddity

  Looking for some insight... I have a large-ish VB.NET form with a bunch of controls on it (nothing too weird so far). On this form is a couple of radiobuttons, and occasionally when the form is opened, the first radiobutton gets focus (despite them being somewhere down the tab order).

• Visual C# Unloading Or Releasing an Unmanaged Dll When Using DllImport???

  I am trying to figure out how to unload and Unmanaged Dll that was originally loaded with DllImport, but I have not had any luck so far.

  Can you tell me why this is not working System.Diagnostics. Process .Start(path); // open application // Select and copy text SendKeys .SendWait( "^a" ); SendKeys .SendWait( "^c" ); SendKeys .Flush(); I assume that "path" has focus by default, and SendWait would queue the keys, then Flush would actually execute the SendKeys. However nothing happens. Thanks for the help Hi, you are sending keys, while the application is not started yet.
