Have you tried this:

Sub Form_Activate()
    Ctrl_User.Enabled = True
    Ctrl_User.MyTextbox.SetFocus
End Sub

Also maybe you may need to review this here as well it may help you more:

If you're authoring a user-drawn control, there won't be any constituent controls on your UserControl. If you don't want your control to be able to receive the focus, set the CanGetFocus property of the UserControl object to False. CanGetFocus is True by default.

If your user-drawn control can receive the focus, the UserControl object will receive GotFocus and LostFocus events when your control receives and loses the focus. A user-drawn control is responsible for drawing its own focus rectangle when it has the focus, as described in "User-Drawn Controls," in this chapter.

This is the only function your UserControl's GotFocus and LostFocus events need to fulfill for a user-drawn control. You don't need to raise GotFocus or LostFocus events for the user of your control, because the container's extender provides these events if the CanGetFocus property is True.
