I want to call a popup type commandbar and have it set the focus to a
control. The control is of type msoControlEdit. This does not seem to be
possible. Example code:

Dim cb As Commandbar
Set cb = Application.Commandbars("XYZ")
cb.Controls(3).Setfocus
cb.ShowPopup
'cb.Controls(3).Setfocus 'Alternatively place it here

My take on this is that it fails because you can't set the focus to an
invisible control and the controls are all invisible before the commandbar is
made visible with the ShowPopup method. If the SetFocus line follows the
ShowPopup line then it does not execute until the commandbar is dismissed, at
which point the controls are all invisible again.

Hoping I'm mistaken somehow or there is a workaround.
