set focus to textbox in tooltip

[dhlennon]

Could someone be kind enough to give an example of the javascript required to automatically set the focus to a textbox in a tooltip when the tip is displayed please? I can't work this out from the client-side docs (Q12008). thanks

Hello David Lennon,

I suggest using the RadToolTip's  OnClientShow event to set the focus. You can achieve this by using the following javascript function:

function OnClientShow(sender, eventArgs)
      {
        setTimeout(function()
          {
             var textBox = $get("<%= TextBox1.ClientID %>");
             try
             {
              if(textBox)
                textBox.focus();
             }
             catch(e){};
          }
          , 500);
      }

 <telerik:RadToolTip ID="RadToolTip1" runat="server" TargetControlID="HyperLink1"
            OnClientShow="OnClientShow">
            <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox></telerik:RadToolTip>

I found out:

 

... (at the end):
<telerik:RadScriptBlock ID="RadScriptBlock1" runat="server">

 

 

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

 

 

function OnClientShow(sender, eventArgs) {

 

setTimeout(

function() {

 

 

var textBox = $get("<%= paketscheinnummer.ClientID %>");

 

 

try {

 

 

if (textBox)

 

textBox.focus();

}

 

catch (e) { };

 

}

, 500);

}

</

 

script>

 

</

 

telerik:RadScriptBlock>
</asp:Content>

Hello groggi,

I am glad to hear that you managed to find solution yourself. The correct place to put the script is in the content page as you have found yourself because you are using code blocks (<%%>) and this is sever code which will throw an exception that the control is not found if it is put in a page which does not contain the control in the code block.

Best wishes,
