Usually you can use SetFocus of a component name like<br />
<br />
myComponent.SetFocus;<br />
<br />
I do not have latest Delphi so I am not sure if this would work.

The TextPrompt property with the default style functions almost identical to the placeholder attribute in an HTML input tag. &nbsp;It displays a gray text prompt for the expected input when the control is empty whether it has focus or not. &nbsp;It can be used in place of a label thus saving screen space on small screens.

Hi,<br />
<br />
I'm trying to setup a stylebook for my Delphi XE5 mobile firmonkey app and according to the DocWiki I'm selecting one of the supplied stylebooks and customizing that.<br />
<br />
The problem is each one of the supplied stylebooks that I've tried causes the TextPrompt in my tEdit to disappear.<br />
<br />
So why is it doing this and do I need to create a custom tEdit in order to have a TextPrompt?<br />
