That will probably work OK. But I have had some problems setting focus of 
one control from another's onClick event. At the very least, make sure the 
SetFocus is the last line of the onClick handler. Otherwise, maybe the 
SetFocus should be in an OnMouseUp event, or even better, OnBlur or 
OnLoseFocus, if those are available. It's been awhile since I worked with 
those issues, or even Delphi itself.
