Unable to set Focus()

[Martin]

If I replace the RadAutoCompleteBox with a normal wpf textbox I can set focus in event OnLoaded with method myTextBox.Focus();
her is the code with the RadAutoCompleteBox that is not working:

<Window x:Class="Propertydesigner.Window1"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
        xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

        Title="Window1" Height="300" Width="300" Loaded="Window1_OnLoaded" >
    <Grid>
        <telerik:RadBusyIndicator Grid.Row="1"  IsIndeterminate="True">
            <Grid HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Margin="5">
                <Grid.RowDefinitions>
                    <RowDefinition Height="Auto" />
                    <RowDefinition Height="*"/>
                </Grid.RowDefinitions>

                <StackPanel>
                    <TextBlock Text="Enter a document name" Margin="0 0 0 5"/>
                    <controls:RadAutoCompleteBox  x:Name="SearchForDocuments"
                         DisplayMemberPath ="Name"
                         SelectionMode="Single"
                         TextSearchMode="Contains"
                         HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"
                         Margin="0 0 0 3"/>
                </StackPanel>

                <StackPanel Grid.Row="2"
                    Orientation="Horizontal"
                    HorizontalAlignment="Right"
                    VerticalAlignment="Center"
                    Margin="0 10 0 0">
                    <telerik:RadButton Content="OK"  Width="70" Margin="0 0 10 0" />
                    <telerik:RadButton Content="Cancel" Width="70"/>
                </StackPanel>
            </Grid>
        </telerik:RadBusyIndicator>
    </Grid>
</Window>

  private void Window1_OnLoaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
        {
            SearchForDocuments.Focus();
        }

Hi Martin,

Thank you for pointing this out.

Actually this issue is known and a fix for it should be included into the next internal build.

Hi,

What is the possible time to release the build which address these issue. This is very urgent for us to close one of our UAT fix.

thanks

Hello Subash,

This issue is scheduled for our next official release - Q1 2013 SP1. It will be released at the beginning of next month. Also when an internal build including this one is released I will write in this thread.

I hope this one is suitable for you.

Hi 

Is the  Q1 2013 SP1 got released? If yes Please let us know the link to  download the same.

We are highly dependent on this build due to the customer escalation on focus issue.

thanks

Hi Subash,

I can confirm that a fix for the mentioned issue is included into the 2013 Q1 SP1. You can download the latest official version of RadControls for WPF here.

All the best,

2013.2.611.40  is the version that i use .  I cannot set focus on the RadWatermarkTextBox.

Hello Navya,

I tested the scenario with the mentioned version of the controls and was able to successfully focus the AutoCompleteBox in the Loaded event of the Window.

Could you please give us some more details on your set up and if you are able to share some code that would be really helpful?

This still seems to be a bug. Setting focus to a RADAutocomplete box. seems to work when the box is empty, but not when It has data in it.

Code snippet
c#

protected void originPort_TextChanged(object sender, AutoCompleteTextEventArgs e)
{
if (originPort.Text != "")
{
Session["ORGCNT"] = originPort.Entries[0].Value.Substring(0, 2);
sendingDataSource.Select(DataSourceSelectArguments.Empty);
sendAgent.DataBind();


destinationPort.Focus();
}
}

protected void destinationPort_TextChanged(object sender, AutoCompleteTextEventArgs e)
{
if (destinationPort.Text != "")
{
Session["DSTCNT"] = destinationPort.Entries[0].Value.Substring(0, 2);
//receivingDataSource.Select(DataSourceSelectArguments.Empty);
//receiveAgent.DataBind();
}

}

Hello Trevor,

We have performed some local tests and it seems that the behavior is correct at our end. Here is a video, demonstrating the local tests. Could you specify which version of our controls that you currently using and the browser under which you are experiencing the issue?

HI

Unfortunately  your video does not play. Just a white screen.

using IE11, and Chrome.

telerik ctls ver  2014.2.724.40

I can only click in the box, by putting the cursor just at the end of the existing item..but I need to just click ON the item in the box of course. Clicking on the item should highlight, the item, like it does when I click past it, then backspace.

I thought may be I could add an onclientclicking event.. but that's not valid on this control

Help


 

[Trevor]

I did event get your video to work, and I see that you are just doing what is FIDDLY for the user.. ie putting the cursor right at the end of the existing input area.

If it were internal users using the system, maybe I could live with it, but it will be our customers trying to enter information.. and its just too fiddly. if you try and click at the end,, then hit backspace, and get it wrong.. the browser gores back a whole page, potentially losing all the input that has been done on the page. We need to be able to do what is intuitive.. click on the existing entry ANYWHRE in the box so as to select the existing item.
