How can I auto focus on a textfield using Win32 GUI in Perl?

Question

I'm following an online Win32::Gui tutorial to learn how to add a GUI to my Perl application. So far everything's been good. But I'm having some pesky small problems. So I'm asking for help here again.

One problem is, I have to click my mouse in the textfield before I can type. I tried something lie this:

$Object->AddTextfield(
        -name   => "Birthday",
        -left   => 75,
        -top    => 50,
        -width  => 180,
        -height => 20,
        -number => 1,
        -prompt => "Input birthday:",  

    );


$Object->Birthday->GetFocus();
$Object->Birthday->Activate();

But it doesn't work. Can anyone kindly help? Thanks in advance.
