In a dialog, how can i determine which widget I want to make the active one upon load?

[jdent]

I have a dialog box with 4 line edit widgets and I want the first one to have the focus everytime I display the dialog.
What do I need to set?
I thought putting the tab order would do it but it doesn't.

@jdent

use setFocus() for this line edit.

@mpergand is there no equivalent in Qt Designer?
