Timothy Kruszewski asked on 21 Sep 2011, 12:12 AM

I've been stuggling with this issue all day long and can't figure out how to setfocus to a RadComboBox control. When the sefocus method is called for a particlular control I can see the cursor enter into the textbox of the control but then it moves to the dropdown button. What am I doing wrong??

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

if (!IsPostBack)

{

BindPage();

ActionDate.SelectedDate = DateTime.Now;

SetFocus(ddlUserName.ClientID + "_Input");

}

else if (window.frameElement.radWindow) oWindow = window.frameElement.radWindow; //IE (and Moz as well)

return oWindow;

}

GetRadWindow().close();

Hi Timothy,

I have tested the code you have pasted here.
The SetFocus method you are using in code-behind to set a focus on a particular control is working fine.

Could you please send a support ticket with the problem you are experiencing and provide us with more information about the behavior you are trying to achieve?

Also, in the support ticket you could attach a sample demo illustrating the issue.

Best wishes,

Hi Timothy,

Try the following code snippet:

JavaScript:

<telerik:RadScriptBlock runat="server">

<script type="text/javascript">

Sys.Application.add_load(function ()

{

setTimeout(function ()

{

$find("<%=ddlUserName.ClientID %>").get_inputDomElement().focus();

}, 0);

});

</script>

</telerik:RadScriptBlock>

Hope it helps.

All the best,
Ivana
