Focus() problem

I am setting the focus to an edit box. However, although htis is working,
when the focus goes to the edit box, any text inside the edit box needs to
be selected, like when you manually tab to an edit box.

With Focus(), the cursor moves to the box, but it doesn't select the text.

Anyway to fix this ?
