How do I get focus on the front panel automatically

[orion1004]

We currently have several string inputs on the front panel, but we want the top left one to get focus when the program is started. Currently a user has to either click it with a mouse or use the tab key on the keyboard. The final station will not have either keyboard nor mouse, but just a scanner.

.
Create a property node for the string and set "Key Focus" to True.

[TLE]

Create an attribute node (or property node in v6) for the control and
set the Key Focus property to True whenever it is desired to focus on
the control. Probably when the VI is started.
