All other objects in the screen should have "Tab index" property <>0. The follow project exemplify this context. Attachment ActiveScreen_20201009_0805.zip (1426 Downloads)

The technique of focusing on an object therefore makes sense with any device, whether it's a touch screen or not. Thanks for sharing anyway.
