  local left = screenWidth/2 - windowWidth/2
  local top = screenHeight/2 - windowHeight/2
  window = guiCreateWindow(left, top, windowWidth, windowHeight, "Example Window", false)
  editbox = guiCreateEdit(11, 41, 241, 22, "", false, window)
  addEventHandler("onClientGUIFocus", editbox, onClientGUIFocus_editbox, true) --true because for the example we want propagated events

  showCursor(true)
end)


function onClientGUIFocus_editbox()
