OpenField Message

[Ken Ray]

Geoff,

I'm pretty sure it's possible to not have an object take the focus when a
card opens. Just make sure the traversalOn property of all objects on the
card is false. I do this especially when the first object on a card is a
list field, and I don't want the first item in the list field highlighted
(which will happen if the traversalOn is true).

because on non-mac platforms, it's a requirement that if anything _can_ have
the focus, one of those things must has the focus at all times. One way
around this is to have another field outside the bounds of the window, at a
lower(?) layer than any other field, so that it receives the focus.
