title: How do I set a UITextField as the default input field at app launch
body: <p>I am writing an iPhone app with a keypad and two TextFields on a single view. The user types into each of the text fields. Because I want to use an on-screen keypad, I disabled the the keyboard from launching when each TextField is selected. (I used the method suggested in this thread:</p>

  <p>So far so good EXCEPT the cursor doesn't blink in the either of the two TextFields until they are selected. If I just begin typing without selecting, the first textfield is filled. That's OK, but I would like to set the cursor flashing in that field so the user is notified that that is where the input will go unless they select the other field.</p>
  
  <p>I did not create the text fields programatically. I created them with Interface builder.</p>
