    Try .Select() method instead.

    textBox1.Select();
    

    or

    private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        this.ActiveControl = textBox1;
    }
    

    Alternativly you could try:

    private TextBox TextFocusedFirstLoop()
    {
        // Look through all the controls on this form.
        foreach (Control con in this.Controls)
        {
        // Every control has a Focused property.
        if (con.Focused == true)
        {
            // Try to cast the control to a TextBox.
            TextBox textBox = con as TextBox;
            if (textBox != null)
            {
            return textBox; // We have a TextBox that has focus.
            }
        }
        }
        return null; // No suitable TextBox was found.
    }
    
    private void SolutionExampleLoop()
    {
        TextBox textBox = TextFocusedFirstLoop();
        if (textBox != null)
        {
        // We have the focused TextBox.
        // ... We can modify or check parts of it.
        }
    }
