More setFocus formCalc

[Former Community Member]

I found $host.setFocus( STRING param ) but cannot get it to work.



I want my script in Object1 to take the user to Object2.



I have tried variations of $host.setFocus( STRING Object2 ) to no avail. That would include $host.setfocus( STRING F.P1.Object2 . . .).



Can anyone shed light? Please. This should be simple.



Thanks.

Chris,



The code should be:



$host.setFocus("Object2")



This works as long as the objects are in the same hierarchy.

I have never been able to get this to work. I would like the first field on the form the have the cursor in it when the form is ready. How do I do this?

Thanks. I see that now!

Paul,



You can place:

$host.setFocus("TextField1") in the docReady event (or any other object that you want to be the first focus).

That can be useful, thanks again.

Thanks. I got it working. Did realize you had to put the code in the object you want focus to be set to.



Thanks.
