Can you programmatically give key focus to input box in Prompt User 4 Intput vi?

How can I programmatically give key focus to the input box in the 'Prompt User for Input' express vi?  When the prompt comes up, the user has to click in the input box (or tab to it), then type in it.  Is there a way around that?
I know I'd have to modify the vi and then save it as another.  I was trying to add a key focus property node, but I couldn't get it to work.  Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Open the front panel, and add a key focus property node (set to true). Of course get the KF node for the control, not the indicator. Connect the error wire coming out of the FP.Open node to the KF node error input.
Here is what I get after some cleaning :

Hi CC,
I can't figure out what to do with my code to set the keyfocus using your example.  Can you help me out?

Click on the Prompt User for Input Express icon with your right mouse, then select Open Frontpanel, acknowledge the dialog with
"Convert" and then open the newly created VI which took the place of the Express node.
