Button focus on Springboard screen

I think I know the answer before I even ask, but is there anyway to set the focus to a particular button on a Springboard screen or at least have the focused button not change when Show() is called to update the display? If you want to have any type of dynamic text on the screen, it can be pretty disconcerting to the user that's in the middle of selecting a button to have the focus suddenly jump back to the first button.

No.

The default focus is the first button added to the screen.

Re: Button focus on Springboard screen

Is there any chance that a method to set the focused button will be added to the SDK in the future?
