Focus TextBox on RadGrid when edit.

[Ivan Ruiz]

Hi,

How can I focus a control when you edit a RadGrid?

I need to focus a TextBox, located on the EditItemTemplate when the user click an edit action on the RadGrid

Hi Ivan,

Try getting your text box when your edit item is created:

void RadGrid1_ItemCreated(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.Item is GridEditFormItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
    {
        (e.Item.FindControl("TextBox") as TextBox).Focus();
    }
}

Best wishes,

Hi,

I have a problem on setting focus on the textbox in RadGrid.  I did as you said in ItemCreated.  However, the textbox is focus random.  Sometime, it can focus on the textbox but sometime not.
Any idea?
Thanks!

Best Regards,
Emily

Hello Emily,

I have created a sample RadGrid web site with Edit Form Template. On my side everything works as expected and the defined TextBox gets focused as expected. Please check out the attached application and try to distinguish the crucial differences between our projects.
