Question

I’ve a form class, named EditCellForm that should implement the interface ICoordsRequester.

This interface requires the Focus() method to be implemented.

As long it’s a form, my class already implements the Focus() method but the compiler cannot see it because it’s in the Windows.Forms.Form superclass.

Any idea?

You can create a new Focus method using the Shadows keywords to implement the interface:

Class EditCellForm 
    Inherits Form
    Implements ICoordsRequester

    Shadows Sub Focus Implements ICoordsRequester.Focus
        Mybase.Focus
    End Sub

End Class

or rename your method

Class EditCellForm 
    Inherits Form
    Implements ICoordsRequester

    Sub NewFocus Implements ICoordsRequester.Focus
        Focus()
    End Sub

End Class
