Hello all, I want to take this opportunity to greet everyone as I am new to
the list and new to Palm programming.  I also have a question concerning the
behavior of the Address Book application.

I want to begin by stating that I have thoroughly searched the mailing list
archive AND looked through the Address Book source code.  So I have RTFM
basically, but just need a pointer in the right direction.  If I have missed
something glaringly obvious, then I apologize.

To the point, a form I am working on creates a two column, eleven row table.
The first column contains labels, the second column contains text entries
(identical in layout to the New/Edit address form in the Address Book
application).  What I would like to happen is for the focus to appear on the
first text entry field, along with the label highlighted.  This is exactly
what it does when the user CLICKS in one of the entry fields, but I want to
do it programatically when the table is first displayed (ie. the Address
Book app again).

So far, I have been able to place the focus in the field, but it does not at
the same time highlight the label to its left.  Part of the problem I guess
stems from the fact that I don't have a direct reference to any of these GUI
elements because they are created dynamically with the table functions.

Any ideas would be most appreciated and keep in mind that I am new to Palm
programming so the more detailed you can be, the better (but it's by no
means a requirement).  Thanks in advance!
