How do I auto highlight the 1st entry in a DBLookupListBox without the end user highlighting it.

procedure TForm2.FormCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  Form2.ActiveControl := DBLookupListBox1;
end;

But this doesn't work, I've also tried DBLookupListBox1.setfocus on form create, but this gives an error, because the DBLookupListBox is not created yet.

Thanks
