Acceding Item in ContentView to set the focus.

[Pierre]

HI, I follow this

https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/xamarin/knowledge-base/slideview-access-parent-bindingcontext

for the BindingContext, but now I need to set the focus to a RadEntry inside a content view. The ViewModel call the function with the MessagingCenter, but I do not know how to access the RadEntry in the code behind.

View:

<telerikPrimitives:RadSlideView x:Name="SlideView" SelectedIndex="{Binding SlideViewIndex}">
    <telerikPrimitives:RadSlideView.Commands>
        <commands:CustomSlideViewCommand Id="SlidingToIndex" Command="{Binding BindingContext.SlidindToIndexCommand}"/>
        <commands:CustomSlideViewCommand Id="SlidedToIndex" Command="{Binding BindingContext.SlidedToIndexCommand}" />
    </telerikPrimitives:RadSlideView.Commands>
    <telerikPrimitives:RadSlideView.ItemsSource>
        <x:Array Type="{x:Type ContentView}">
            <ContentView x:Name="Etape1CV">
                <StackLayout Margin="10" x:Name="Etape1SL">
                    <Label>Scanner ou entrer un code de localisation</Label>
                    <Entry x:Name="TestEntry">ALLO</Entry>
                    <telerikInput:RadEntry x:Name="CodeLoca" WatermarkText="Code" IsTabStop="True" />
                </StackLayout>
            </ContentView>
            <ContentView>
                <Label HorizontalOptions="Center"
                       VerticalOptions="CenterAndExpand"
                       Text="Other View"
                       TextColor="Blue" />
            </ContentView>
            <ContentView>
                <Label HorizontalOptions="Center"
                       VerticalOptions="CenterAndExpand"
                       Text="Another View"
                       TextColor="Red" />
            </ContentView>
        </x:Array>
    </telerikPrimitives:RadSlideView.ItemsSource>
</telerikPrimitives:RadSlideView>

 

CodeBehind

public DecompteLocalisationView ()
{
    InitializeComponent ();

    BindingContextHelper.CurrentPageBindingContext = this.BindingContext;

    MessagingCenter.Subscribe<string>(this, "SetFocusToCodeLoca", (sender) => {

        foreach(ContentView View in SlideView.ItemsSource)
        {
            //CHECK THE VIEW NAME TO FIND ETAPE1CV
            //THEN SET THE FOCUS
            //RadEntry Tb = CodeLoca as RadEntry;
            //Tb.Focus();
            //if (Tb.Text.Length > 0)
            //{
            //    Tb.CursorPosition = 0;
            //    Tb.SelectionLength = Tb.Text.Length;
            //}
        }
    });

}

 

Thanks

In the same idea, I follow your explanation for the bindingContext. That work only the second time I enter the view. The first time no error, but no binding.

Hi Pierre,

Thank you for the provided code.

The described scenario could be achieved through a Custom Entry control that inherits from RadEntry control. I have created a sample project that shows how this could be achieved.

Please take a look at the attached file and let me know if you have any additional question.

Regards,
Didi
