Setting initial focus with UiBinder

[Tim Barthel]

Hello all,

I am just getting started with gwt and trying to set the initial focus
to a TextBox with:

<g:TextBox ui:field="user" name="username" focus="true" />

However focus always starts on the first field in the panel even
though it is a label. Please help. Thanks.

Try Googling "scheduler scheduledeferred focus"

Thanks Chris, that works. It took me a while to figure out where to
put the calls because my app follows the MVP sample app pattern. It
still seem like a UiBinder bug and I will submit it as such.

Not sure it is a bug.  You can't really set the focus until the page is loaded.

Just override the onLoad method and set the focus there.
