[Solved] Default to Edit Mode and set focus

[Paul]

I've setup a radgrid to open in edit mode but also want the focus to be on a specific text box "Allowed" on the first row of the radgrid.The following code sets the radgrid to edit, but i have been unsuccessful in getting any of the focus routines to work correctly.

 

Private Sub RadGrid1_PreRender(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles RadGrid1.PreRender

 

 

    If Not IsPostBack Then

 

 

        For Each item As GridItem In RadGrid1.MasterTableView.Items

 

 

            If TypeOf item Is GridEditableItem Then

 

 

                Dim editableItem As GridEditableItem = CType(item, GridDataItem)

 

                editableItem.Edit =

True

 

 

            End If

 

 

        Next

 

        RadGrid1.Rebind()

 

    End If

 

 

End Sub

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi Paul,

Try the following code snippet in order to focus the textbox in the fist row which is in editmode.

CS:

Protected Sub RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As Telerik.Web.UI.GridItemEventArgs)
    If TypeOf e.Item Is GridEditableItem AndAlso e.Item.ItemIndex = 0 AndAlso e.Item.IsInEditMode Then
        Dim item As GridEditableItem = DirectCast(e.Item, GridEditableItem)
        Dim text As TextBox = DirectCast(item("CustomerID1").Controls(0), TextBox)
        text.Focus()
    End If
End Sub

Shinu -

 

Thanks for the reply. It seems that I never get to the ItemDataBound sub. When I walk through the code, the PreRender runs through and the page is displayed.

Am I missing something here?

Thanks

Paul

Hello Paul,

Make sure that you have added the onItemDataBound event in the aspx as shown below:
aspx:

<telerik:RadGrid ID="RadGrid1" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1"
AutoGenerateColumns="false" runat="server" OnItemDataBound="RadGrid1_ItemDataBound">

Thanks
Shinu.

Shinu,

Thanks for the reply. That is exactly what was missing.
