cannot set focus to griddropdowncolumn in edit mode

[EJ]

i tried to use a technique that works fine for GridMaskedColumn and GridNumericColumn but it does not work for GridDropDownColumn to set the focus to a particular row of the grid when it's displayed in edit mode

here's my column

<telerik:GridDropDownColumn DataField="id" DataSourceID="MyObjectDataSource"
                                    HeaderText="Name" ListTextField="name" ListValueField="id" DataType="System.Guid"
                                    UniqueName="id">
                                </telerik:GridDropDownColumn>

and here's my code

Entity insertedRecordToSetFocusTo = null;
        protected void MyRadGrid_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
        {
            // focus
            if ((e.Item is GridEditableItem) && (e.Item.IsInEditMode))
            {
                GridEditableItem item = (GridEditableItem)e.Item;
                if (insertedRecordToSetFocusTo != null)
                {
                    // check if we are at the row to set focus to
                    if (item.GetDataKeyValue("id2").ToString() == insertedRecordToSetFocusTo.id2.ToString())
                    {
                        RadComboBox c = (RadComboBox)item["id"].Controls[0];
                        c.Focus();
                        insertedRecordToSetFocusTo = null;
                    }
                }
            }
        }

Hi,

Here is a solution to the problem using RadScriptManager to set focus to the RadComboBox in edit mode:

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if ((e.Item is GridEditableItem) && (e.Item.IsInEditMode))
        {
            GridEditableItem item = (GridEditableItem)e.Item;
            RadComboBox c = (RadComboBox)item["ColumnUniqueName"].Controls[0];
            RadScriptManager1.SetFocus(c.ClientID + "_Input");
        }
    }

Aditionaly, I just answered your support ticket as well, so if you have any further questions, let us please continue communication on the subject there, as it will be easier to keep track of each other's posts. Thank you.
