form defaultfocus does not work with telerik textbox

[Bridge24]

I recently changed all my asp:textbox for telerik:textbox. I just found that all my defaultfocus are not working.  

So I did a very simple test (code below) and found that it is really a telerik bug I think, when I set the defaultfocus on textbox1 or 2, it work (asp:textbox) but when I set it on textbox3 (telerik textbox), the focus do not go on the textbox3.  It reacts like if there were no defaultfocus property set.

<form id="form1" runat="server" defaultfocus="textbox2">
    <telerik:RadScriptManager ID="RadScriptManager1" runat="server" />
    <asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="textbox1" Text="textbox1" /><br>
    <asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="textbox2" Text="textbox2" /><br>
    <telerik:RadTextBox ID="textbox3" runat="server" Text="textbox3" />
</form>

Am I doing something wrong ?

Hi Dani,

RadTextBox consists of several <input /> elements and the visible one has a different Client ID. This is needed by the control's behavior and features.

You can set the defaultfocus like this:

C#

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Page.Form.DefaultFocus = String.Format("{0}_text", RadTextBox1.ClientID);
       //  OR
        RadTextBox1.Focus();
    }

Shame on me!  I should have done a little "view source" to see the textbox_text client id!

It works fine now, thank you.
