Set cursor focus on TextField when form load in Objective C

Question

I have 3 textfields (Username, Password, Confirm Password). When the form loads I wish for the cursor to start off in the textfield Username when the form is first displayed. Please give me some advice. Thank in advance.

Answer 1

[usernameTextField becomeFirstResponder];

This should provide you with the desired result. You can read about the responder chain here if you want to understand more about the mechanism.

Edit:

My bad, I thought you meant UITextField (Cocoa Touch).

Use the NSWindow makeFirstResponder: method, not this method, to make an object the first responder. Never invoke this method directly.

[window makeFirstResponder:usernameTextField];
