Hi Steve,

The poroblem here is that when you activate a button
under Windows (or any other OS that allows you to
'tab' to a button), the focus is automatically taken
away from the field.
Type the following in the message box :
  set the traversalOn of btn <YourButtonName> to false
This will prevent the button from stealing the focus.

Hope this helped,

Jan Schenkel.
