How can I set a default curser position at startup?

[Ben_7128]

I need to wait for a serial number to be entered.  I don't want to wait for the operator to hit any keys.  I understand the "update while typing" part and I have a little delay loop that waits for the scanner to enter the number and then counts a couple seconds and passes the information.

My problem is I need the currsor in the text field at startup and I can't find this.  Is there a way to focus on the text entry field at start up?  This would let me just call this scanner entry routine and not have to use any mouse or keyboard entries.  The operator could scan and go.

Thank you,

Ben

Hi Ben,

you can use the property "Key Focus". Set it at startup to true.

You can create a property node with a right click on the Control. Select "Create  -> Property Node".

Thank you for the help.  I knew it had to be doable but I couldn't find the right place to look.
