Hello,

I have simple dialog. How can I set focus to text box on dialog opening?
text.setFocus() is not working.

public class MyDialog extends TitleAreaDialog {

public MyDialog(Shell parentShell) {
super(parentShell);
}
protected Control createDialogArea(Composite parent) {
Composite area = (Composite) super.createDialogArea(parent);
Composite container = new Composite(area, SWT.NONE);
container.setLayout(new GridLayout());
container.setLayoutData(new GridData(GridData.FILL_BOTH));

final CTabFolder tabFolder = new CTabFolder(container, SWT.BORDER);
tabFolder.setLayout(new GridLayout());
tabFolder.setLayoutData(new GridData(GridData.FILL_BOTH));

final CTabItem tabItem = new CTabItem(tabFolder, SWT.NONE);
tabItem.setText("MyTab");

final Composite composite = new Composite(tabFolder, SWT.NONE);
composite.setLayout(new GridLayout());
tabItem.setControl(composite);

Text text = new Text(composite, SWT.BORDER);
text.setFocus();

return area;
}
}

I suspect TitleAreaDialog (whatever that is) is burning you, assigning the
focus away after you have already set it. What you are doing should work in
a stand alone example. Please enter a bugzilla report if it does not.
Thanks.
