How to put the curser in editbox automatically

Postby Playerdark » Sun Jun 03, 2012 04:48

Hi,

I'm trying to activate an editobox automatically when I slide in the window. I call activate() on it but I still have to click inside the editbox to make the cursor appear and enable typing. I couldn't find any other way to set the input focus to the box. Am I missing something or is it not possible to do this without clicking the box?

Thanks

I ran a quick test using the demo7 layout and sample code, calling the activate function in an event handler works for me - the editbox becomes active and I can type into it without needing to click.

I suggest that maybe you are doing something wrong ;)
