John,

What is the "people picker"?  Do you mean the "Add a Buddy" sheet?

Maybe you should subclass NSPanel and override makeKeyAndOrderFront and orderFront and any related methods, and then within those methods call makeFirstResponder: (NSWindow) or accepts/becomeFirstResponder (NSResponder) for your search field. Then call super's implementation.

Hello:

I've been using ABPeoplePickerView in a panel, and I'm trying to figure out how to always have the cursor be active in the the search field (i.e. that the search field receives the focus). This is the way the people picker behaves in iChat. In my app however, after a user selects a record and the panel is closed, the next time it's opened the focus is no longer on the search field, but on the previously selected record. The only way to force the cursor into the search field is to use the tab key which is "non-obvious" to borrow a phrase. I've tried called deselectAll: and that doesn't have any effect. Further, there does not seem to be any public outlet for the search field in this view. Is there some trick, hidden or otherwise, that I'm missing

Any help greatly appreciated.

John
