i list, Platform: OSX 10.5.2
gcc: 4.0.1
WX: 2.8.7

In my application I have a modeless dialog (very much like the standard
Find/Replace dialog)

When user launches it on the first time (say, he hits Ctrl-F), non of its
child controls has focus - although I am calling m_findString->SetFocus()
followed m_findString->setSelecion(-1, -1) inside the 'Show()' method which
I overrided:

// m_findString is of type: wxComboBox

bool FindInFilesDialog::Show()
{
if( IsShown() )
return true;

bool res = wxDialog::Show();
SetData(m_data);
m_findString->SetSelection(-1, -1); // select all
m_findString->SetFocus();
return res;
}

The same code works as expected on Linux/Win

Any advise?
