Focus on Button

[Erik]

Hi,

I try to set the focus on the textbox by radtexbox.focus. But it's seem that the cursor is not on that radtexbox. In MS radtexbox, if we set the focus on the radtexbox, the cursor will be on that radtexbox.

Please help

Thanks

I had the same problem. If you are using a base class to call the Focus method on, it won't show the cursor. Try casting to RadTextBox before and it should work.

Hi Cristi71000,
The last post states correctly. We use shadowing Focus method in RadTextBox (because Focus method is impossible to override). This means that if you you cast RadTextBox to a base class (say to Control) you execute the base Focus method, which do things improperly in regard to TPF.

in vb.net using the default button (built in .net), when the focus is in that button we can see the focus, the graphic is different.
How to do it using this telerik button?

Thanks

Hi eriksurya,
You have to set the AllowShowFocusCues of RadButton to true and you will get the "focused rectangle" behavior. Please tell us whether this solved the problem.

Hi,
I found another problem with this focused rectangle on button. In  form_load , I set button1. focus. I expected that the button will show focused rectangle behaviour. But, it DIDNT. What is going on?

But if u try to TAB to next button, it showed to that next button. Please help.

Thanks so much

Hi eriksurya,

This behavior is by design in a Windows Forms application. Here is link which explains this issue in detail: http://blogs.msdn.com/oldnewthing/archive/2005/05/03/414317.aspx

We have found a simple way (not so clean, though) to change this logic. Please find attached a demo app that demonstrates this approach.

Another solution would be to change the buttons' theme to one like "Vista" or "WinXpLuna", which supports alternative focus cues (such as colored inner rectangle) and does not depend on system's UI state.
