Using WIDGET_CONTROL,TEXT_WIDGET_ID,/INPUT_FOCUS sets the
keyboard input focus to the specified text widget (same
effect as clicking inside the field).
In order to get the widget ID of the text widget inside
the compound field widget, the source code indicates the
following should work, (given that FIELD_ID is the Widget
ID of the compound, as returned by CW_FIELD):
LABEL_ID = WIDGET_INFO(FIELD_ID,/CHILD)
TEXT_WIDGET_ID = WIDGET_INFO(LABEL_ID,/SIBLING)
