Hello

I'm not sure if I'm right here but I couldn't find a topic for kendoDialog...

I have a dialog mask in my application (KendoUI, Javascript/JQuery) with two buttons: "Ok" and "Cancel". I would like to set the focus to the "Ok" button by default or at least when the dialog window is opened. I tried different things like setting .focus() on the first found .k-button, I tried to simulate a TAB command (that sets the focus to the "OK" button doing this by keyboard) on kendoDialog event "open", but everything around that didn't work. I assume that .focus() doesn't work because its not an official HTML button.

Is there a (simple) way to set the focus in a kendoDialog to a button?

Regards

Hello,

You can use the Kendo UI Confirm dialog, which is a predefined Dialog and by default it has its OK button focused. Here's a dojo example.

Hi,

Would be possible to set the focus to the Cancel button. I have a requirement for the OK button to be primary but the focus should be on Cancel. Can this be achieved using telerik?

Hi Dan,

To achieve the desired you will need to implement the following handler for the Dilog show event:
show: function(e) {
    $('.k-dialog-buttongroup button:not(.k-primary)').focus();
}

Here you could find a small sample implementing the above.
