## Description

Occurs whenever the end user changes the focus by clicking on the dialog element or by using TAB.

For dialogs, this event occurs when a dialog becomes active. This happens when

- the end user activates it by a mouse click or by a keyboard operation; or

- the PROCESS GUI statement action SET-FOCUS is applied to this dialog.

For dialog elements, this event occurs when the dialog element receives the focus by end user action or if the SET-FOCUS Action is applied.

For table controls, this event occurs if the table receives the focus or if the end user enters a new row. If the end user enters a new cell, the enter-cell event occurs.

If this event occurs in a cell of a Table Control, the ROW and COLUMN attributes are modified so that they contain the position of the cell.

When an end user leaves an MDI application, for example, by clicking into another application outside Natural, and clicks into the MDI application again, an enter event only occurs for the MDI Frame dialog, not for the MDI Child dialogs.
