Try GUICtrlCreateMenu()

There's a great example for it in the help file.

Edit: Slightly misunderstood your post the first time, try something like this:

#include <GUIConstants.au3>

GUICreate("AForm1", 180, 115, 197, 115)
$filemenu = GUICtrlCreateMenu ("&File")
$exititem = GUICtrlCreateMenuitem ("Exit",$filemenu)
$Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 56, 32, 89, 21)
$Input2 = GUICtrlCreateInput("", 56, 64, 89, 21)
$Name = GUICtrlCreateLabel("&Name:", 16, 32, 39, 17)
$Label = GUICtrlCreateLabel("&Label:", 16, 64, 39, 17)
HotKeySet( "!n", "SetInputOne" )
HotKeySet( "!l", "SetInputTwo" )
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit
    EndSwitch
WEnd

Func SetInputOne()
    GUICtrlSetState( $Input1, $GUI_FOCUS )
EndFunc
Func SetInputTwo()
    GUICtrlSetState( $Input2, $GUI_FOCUS )
EndFunc
