LiveCode Forums.

I'm sure this is simple, but I've been searching the forums for the past half hour and can't find an answer.

Is there a way to make the cursor/insertion point show up in a specific field every time a new card is created? Basically, I've got a background that will be placed on every card, and that background has two fields. Whenever a new card is created, I want the insertion point to be blinking in field 1 so that the user can begin typing right away (instead of having to click or tab into that field to get started typing).

I'm assuming this can be accomplished within an "on newCard" handler. But what is the command?

Thanks.

Tony

Try select after field command in handler on openCard

Hi Tony,

sice your fields are still empty at that time you can also use:
...
focus on fld 1
...

Best
