Detection if RadTextBox has focus through jQuery

[Vasssek]

Hi,

could somebody give me an advice, how to manage if I need to know whether some RadTextbox has focus on not. I know, I can do it through onfocus and onblur client side events, but I want it to achieve through jQuery.

For now I found this link:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/967096/using-jquery-to-test-if-an-input-has-focus

I tried to to use this $(mytelerikradtextbox).is(":focus") to check whether control has focus, but it still returns false even it has focus. Shouldn't I apply it on input child ?

Thanks for the right direction :-)

Hi Vasssek,

You can determine whether a RadTextBox is focused or not from the value of the control's _focus property. For example:

<telerik:RadTextBox ID="RadTextBox1" runat="server"></telerik:RadTextBox>

<script>
    function pageLoad() {
        setInterval(function () {
            console.log($find("RadTextBox1")._focused);
        }, 500);
    }
</script>
