md-autocomplete autofocus

[RomainFleury]

Hi,

I am using md-autocomplete in a md-dialog, to show only a button to launch a search.

BTW, I'd like to set focus on autocomplete > input right when it is available.

Is it possible to pass a param into autocompleteDirective ?

Then set it to true when building the input ?

scope: {
searchText: '=mdSearchText',
autofocus: '=mdAutofocus',

function MdAutocomplete () {
return {
template: '

<input type="text"
ng-disabled="isDisabled"
~~autofocus="autofocus"~~

Do you want me to make a plunkr to explain ?

My html tag is wrong... It isn't possible to set autofocus to false...

But maybe another way ?

The dialog currently handles focus on open for accessibility, so would definitely be part of the problem. I'm about to push a fix that will allow focusOnOpen in $mdDialog to be set to false (only to be used when something else is focused).
