VB.NET Drag text, set focus and enter key issue - vb.net

Question

I have an app that allows for text to be dragged-dropped into a text box. I also have a check box that allows the app to always be on top of all windows. My issues is when I drag text into the text box and I hit the enter key, it does not run the function unless I have the window in actual focus (by clicking on it).
My question is, how can I make sure when I drag text into the text box, it will make the window be the focus so when I hit the enter key, it will run my function?
Here is what I am trying with no luck:
Private Sub Form1_DragEnter(sender As Object, e As DragEventArgs) Handles Me.DragEnter
Me.Focus()
End Sub
Private Sub Form1_DragOver(sender As Object, e As DragEventArgs) Handles Me.DragOver
Me.Focus()
End Sub

Answer 1

I am posting the code as it works fine for me, try it on new project:
Public Class Form1
Private Sub TextBox1_DragEnter(sender As Object, e As System.Windows.Forms.DragEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.DragEnter
' Check the format of the data being dropped.
If (e.Data.GetDataPresent(DataFormats.Text)) Then
' Display the copy cursor.
e.Effect = DragDropEffects.Copy
Else
' Display the no-drop cursor.
e.Effect = DragDropEffects.None
End If
End Sub
Private Sub TextBox1_DragDrop(sender As Object, e As DragEventArgs) Handles TextBox1.DragDrop
' Drop text and move cursor to end of drag-dropped text
TextBox1.Text = e.Data.GetData(DataFormats.Text)
TextBox1.SelectionStart = TextBox1.Text.Length + 1
TextBox1.Focus()
Me.Activate()
End Sub
End Class
and designer:
<Global.Microsoft.VisualBasic.CompilerServices.DesignerGenerated()> _
Partial Class Form1
Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Form
'Form overrides dispose to clean up the component list.
<System.Diagnostics.DebuggerNonUserCode()> _
Protected Overrides Sub Dispose(ByVal disposing As Boolean)
Try
If disposing AndAlso components IsNot Nothing Then
components.Dispose()
End If
Finally
MyBase.Dispose(disposing)
End Try
End Sub
'Required by the Windows Form Designer
Private components As System.ComponentModel.IContainer
'NOTE: The following procedure is required by the Windows Form Designer
'It can be modified using the Windows Form Designer.
'Do not modify it using the code editor.
<System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThrough()> _
Private Sub InitializeComponent()
Me.TextBox1 = New System.Windows.Forms.TextBox()
Me.SuspendLayout()
'
'TextBox1
'
Me.TextBox1.AllowDrop = True
Me.TextBox1.Location = New System.Drawing.Point(30, 54)
Me.TextBox1.Multiline = True
Me.TextBox1.Name = "TextBox1"
Me.TextBox1.Size = New System.Drawing.Size(216, 125)
Me.TextBox1.TabIndex = 0
'
'Form1
'
Me.AutoScaleDimensions = New System.Drawing.SizeF(6.0!, 13.0!)
Me.AutoScaleMode = System.Windows.Forms.AutoScaleMode.Font
Me.ClientSize = New System.Drawing.Size(284, 262)
Me.Controls.Add(Me.TextBox1)
Me.Name = "Form1"
Me.Text = "Form1"
Me.TopMost = True
Me.ResumeLayout(False)
Me.PerformLayout()
End Sub
Friend WithEvents TextBox1 As System.Windows.Forms.TextBox
End Class

Answer 2

Try to use Me.Activate() instead in DragEnter it should be enough
