macOS NSTextField SetFocus

[McBgnr]

Hello,

I want to set focus on NSTextField programatically.

I have tried
[myWindow makeFirstResponder:myTextField];

Though this is highlighting the text field with a blue border but not showing the carot symbol inside it and I can directly type in words into it.

How can I get it ready to accept input thru a program?

This should work. If it has the blue focus ring, that means it's the first responder. I don't think the text cursor will always show right away, but you should be able to start typing. Maybe something else is going on in your code?

I checked my code again and moved this call to the end of the function. It is working now

Thanks a bunch.
