initial focus in wizard page [message #517754]

Hello,

I'm currently implementing a wizard with several pages. Now i am
wondering how to set the focus initial to a specific control. I thought
in my createControl(...) method after creating and initializing several
widgets and calling setControl(...) afterwards i could just use e.g.
someWidget.setFocus() But this doesn't work. I just have the focus at
the next button.

Do i miss something here? Or is this the wrong time to do so?
Maybe it's due to the fact i didn't implement canFlipToNextPage() and
such things yet. I first wanted to do the GUI and afterwards the logic
behind ..

Thanks in advance
Regards Jann

override the setVisible() method and set the focus to the widget
