set focus

Sep 28, 2016

By Edward Yankwitt

I have a quiz that asks users to input a number from 1 thru 10.

There is a numeric value variable that changes when the user types their number and leaves the text box.

Is there a way for me to set focus on the text box when the slide starts?

That way the user can input the number without have to click in the text box first.

Thanks

Make it the first item that you place on a slide to give it initial focus. If it isn't the first item on the slide, then right click on the text box, and send it to the back.

Sending to back works! Thanks Dave

I'm glad that worked. It took me awhile to find it the first time too.

Thanks! Sending it to the back worked. However, my text entry field is now hidden by an image. But I can find a workaround, through the power of layers. :)
