Hi David,

Option 1:

-

---

if(firstTime){
  IWDInputField input = (IWDInputField)view.getElement(<<Input Field name>>);
  input.requestFocus();
}

Option 2:

-

Check the following method

requestFocus(IWDNodeElement nodeElement, IWDAttributeInfo attribute)

IWDAttributeInfo attribute = wdContext.nodeXYZ().getNodeInfo().getAttribute(IPrivateMyView.IXYZElement.ABC);
wdThis.wdGetAPI().requestFocus(wdContext.currentXYZElement(), attribute);

Hope this solves your problem.

You could've found this when looking at the Web Dynpro API documentation for inputfield (IWDInputField)...
