Good idea. I'll check that out. It's strange that this is so tricky to do. I can use a TextInput and use textInput.setFocus() right after creation with no problem, but that doesn't suit my needs.

The parent component is certainly initialized. The UITextFields are triggered by user interaction. You mean I have to test to see if the UITextField itself has initialized?

If you try to get focus before that time, wouldn't work for sure.
