Can you please point out a dialog box under Win32 that has this behaviour?

Well, setting the focus is up to every dialog box object in every platform.
Under Windows, you basically do that when you get the WM_INITDIALOG message.
You set the focus and then and return 0. In AbiWord world, you do that in the
call the _onInitDialog method. You call the SetFocus Win32API call, and then
return 0. See the XAP_Win32Dialog_Encoding::_onInitDialog for a real sample.
