Focus cursor in widget text boxes

How do you focus the cursor in widgets with text boxes? Specifically, I am thinking of the Locate, Print, Query, and Search (and eSearch, by extension) widgets. It's an unnecessary extra click when opening these widgets. I'm not a programmer, but I'm guessing that a solution requires digging into the uncompiled code?

Andrew,

First let me point out that you should post Flex Viewer/Widget Questions to the Flex Viewer forum here:

Yes this would require changing the uncompiled code and setting the focus on the textbox for each of these widgets. The TextInput has a setFocus method.
