Focus in radio button or checkbox that's obvious to user

I have scripts that as a result of prior selections send the focus to, in one case a radio button selection, and in the other a checkbox.

The focus goes to the radio button I want, but does not actually highlight (select) the button - so it's not obvious to the user that that radio button has 'automatically' been selected. It's obvious that 'setFocus' does only that, it doesn't perform a selection task.

In the case of the checkbox, it doesn't even take the focus to the button let alone display that it's been selected.

Can anyone tell me how I can make this happen please?

It's OK, I fixed it myself. I realised I made a dumb mistake in that I told it to insert the rawValue AFTER shifting the focus. Therefore the field where I had the script no longer had focus. Oh well... back to the drawing board...
