OOB textbox focus

[James B.]

Can't get cursor focus on a radwindow in SL5 OOB app. It's a popup from the mainpage.

Trying this in window_Loaded event.

UpdateLayout();
txtField.Focus();

Hello James,

To set the focus on a control you need to make sure that the control you want to be focused is loaded before setting the focus on it. Here is a sample method that puts the focus on the passed focusControl:

private void PutFocus(Control focusControl)
{
    if (focusControl != null)
    {
        RoutedEventHandler loadedEventHandler = null;
        loadedEventHandler = new RoutedEventHandler(delegate
        {
            focusControl.Loaded -= loadedEventHandler;
            focusControl.Focus();
        });
        focusControl.Loaded += loadedEventHandler;
    }
}

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Thanks for the code. It still isn't working for me. The control is in the xaml and the window only has 1 field and 2 buttons so not sure what's up.

Hi James,

I have prepared and attached a sample project representing the described approach on how to set the focus on specific control. In the attached project the focus is set to textBox2.

Take a look at it and tell me if you are doing something different in your project.
