Infopath 2010 setting focus on a field in .NET Code?

Question

I'm building a desktop (thick) Infopath 2010 form with code-behinds that need to set form focus on certain fields so that they are on the field in question for easier entry. Is there a way to do this in .NET? Offhand I can't seem to find a way.

What do you mean "set form focus on occasion"? You want to set the focus on a field, so it is selected? — Dennis G

Use the SelectText method of the View class
