Chen,
Thanks for the reply. I've tried using focusManager as well, but that doesn't work either. I don't understand why setFocus works on some widgets and not on others. Also, it would be nice to have focus on whatever widget is open upon loading the application. It seems this is even more difficult because you need to take focus from the application itself before you can assign it to any particular widget. Any help anyone could give is appreciated. I've been trying to figure this out for days now.
Thanks,
Jay
