Focus on control in item template

[Gavin]

Hi,

I am trying to use the below code to focus on a RadNumericTextBox contained within the item template of a panel bar item when the item expands.

The javascript finds the control correctly but the focus call does nothing.  Can anyone please give me any info on why the focus does not land in the control?

Thanks

Gavin.

function OnItemExpand(sender, args)
{
    var itm = args.get_item();
    if (itm.get_value() == "9")
    {
        var ctrl = itm.findControl("txtEpiID");
        if (ctrl != null)
        {
            ctrl.focus();
        }
    }
}

Hi Gavin,

Here is the sample code that I tried to set focus in NumericTextBox on expanding.
JS:

function OnClientItemExpand(sender, args)
 {
     var item = sender.findItemByValue("9");
     var txt = item.findControl("txtEpiID");
     window.setTimeout(function () { txt.focus(); }, 20);
}

Also check the following help documentation which explains accessing controls from client side.
Accessing Controls Inside Templates.

Thanks,
Princy.

Thanks Princy,

This worked, though I had to change the timout to 500 as that the expansion is completed before setting focus.

cheers

Gavin.
