Anvil Focus method doesn't work on Buttons?

[duncan_richards12]

Can I set the focus on an Anvil component?

Can I set the focus on any component? I can’t seem to set it on my button – the ‘focus()’ method does not show up in the list of available options. My goal is to be able to basically take this ‘vocabulary quiz’ without really taking my hands off the keyboard. i can Tab and then the button gets highlighted/focused, and then i can hit Enter or and i’m all good, but ideally i’d like to not have to hit that initial Tab key. i’m open to hacks – maybe I can send a Tab keystroke? I also saw the key…

What I’m trying to do:
Set focus to a button

What I’ve tried and what’s not working:
I have tried just running self.example_button.focus(), but that errors out.

I can get focus there if I use JQuery’s focus method, but that’s taking me out of the Anvil API when the Anvil focus method already exists

Might want to check out and add support for:

Can't set focus on button

A button does not seem to have the focus() method (well, not in the autocompleter anyway).

Just my luck that there’s an existing Feature Request! Thanks @stucork !
