Hi There! A basic question perhaps, but annoying all the same. I'm writing a login/password GUI, very simple, just like the one to get into NT. The cursor begins in the USERNAME text field, which is good. However, the cursor is not visible until they start typing -- at which point, it is visible, and blinking, exactly the way it should. All they see initially is two blank text fields. no cursor in sight. To the newbie user however, not seeing a blinking cursor off the bat is a HUGE problem and very poor design. Does anyone know of a way to make it visible immediately? I've looked at a few tutorials and whatnot, but their sample code all does the same thing. No cursor initially blinking. Thank you very much for your time!!! Much appreciated, Matt miro AT pobox DOT com
