There is no known way to activate the player on browser startup for every browser, which is what is needed to actually start typing in a TextInput. There is a way that often works on IE and requires JavaScript, but does not work on Mozilla or most other browsers. You'll need to encourage your user to click on the area of the browser covered by the application, or else they will have to hit TAB enough times to get from the browser to the first control in your application.
