I tried this but the carat is not being placed in the textinput.
The textInput gets focus, but I have to click somewhere to place the
carat in the textInput before being able to type.
How do I get it to give focus and place the carat in the textinput so
I can just start typing the user name immediately?

> I have had this problem as well :-( I am sad to say, I hate the
focus manager. Ok that was a little harsh... but none the less, it
has its' issues. There is a way to set the position of the caret
though (Set the start index of the caret as well as the end, so you
can choose the text you wish to be highlighted). I am going to try to
find that code. In the mean time, you may want to try setFocus in the
show event or childrenCreated event. That may fix your issue. If
not, then the code for setting the caret position may help. I will
find that code and post it. Give me a few...

that's changed based on a users selection. Each time a container
within that stack is viewed an initialization script is run to
populate form elements. At the end of the process I'm using setFocus
to, well, focus on the first textinput field. The problem is the
selection on the textinput field is the length of the previous value
for that field. So if the current value of the textinput is "abc" and
the model changes to "abcdef"...When the setFocus executes it's only
highlighting from a to c
