Platform = Win32

Python Version = 2.1.x

Hi there,

I have an application which has a child dialog box which is used as a login screen … (see sample code below) … what I would like to do is when this method is called, to have the cursor automatically be set in the username test control box ready to type text … rather than having to manually place the cursor in the field with the mouse … I know it must be simple … but I have not been able to locate the appropriate info … would someone be kind enough to point me to some documentation regarding how to do this or some pointers in the right direction

thanks in advance

Ben

def OnLogIn(self, event):
    self.login_dialogue = wxDialog(self, -1, "Login", wxDefaultPosition, wxSize(200, 150))
    self.login_dialogue.SetBackgroundColour(wxColour(red=170, green=180, blue=190) )


    # USERNAME STATIC TEXT LABEL
    self.user_name_login_txt = wxStaticText(self.login_dialogue, -1, "Username", wxDLG_PNT(self.login_dialogue, 10, 5))

    # USERNAME BOX
    self.user_name_login_box = wxTextCtrl(self.login_dialogue, -1, '', wxDLG_PNT(self.login_dialogue, 10, 15 ), wxDLG_SZE(self.login_dialogue, 110, 16))
