Hello Web Dynpro ABAP experts,

how can I set the focus/cursor on a specific UI (input) field at the start of an application?

Thanks and best regards,

Hello Oliver,

You could use the method REQUEST_FOCUS_ON_VIEW_ELEM of if_wd_view.

Hi,

I would suggest we don't play with focus.

Handling the focus manually will go against the product standard Accessibility
