Hi,

You can try out the following code to set the focus on the combobox as well as to select the current text in the combo:
aspx:

<telerik:RadComboBox ID="RadComboBox1" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1" DataTextField="Role"
DataValueField="Role" AllowCustomText="true" Text="Select-Item">
</telerik:RadComboBox>

js:

function pageLoad()
{
     var comboBox = $find("<%=RadComboBox1.ClientID %>");
     var input = comboBox.get_inputDomElement();
     input.focus();
     comboBox.selectText();
}

Thanks
Princy.

hello
for
RadComboBox1.ClientID 

I get control not declared. It is likely becasue I place control inside the toolbar.

<telerik:RadToolBarButton runat="server">
 <ItemTemplate>
   <telerik:RadComboBox ID="Box1"

Hello,

Give a try with the following code and see whether its working fine.

aspx:

<telerik:radtoolbar id="RadToolBar1" runat="server">

<Items>

<telerik:RadToolBarButton runat="server" Text="Button 0">

<ItemTemplate>

<telerik:radcombobox id="Box1" AllowCustomText="true" runat="server">

<Items>

<telerik:RadComboBoxItem runat="server" Text="Item1" Value="Item1"></telerik:RadComboBoxItem>

<telerik:RadComboBoxItem runat="server" Text="Item2" Value="Item2"></telerik:RadComboBoxItem>

</Items>

</telerik:radcombobox>

</ItemTemplate>

</telerik:RadToolBarButton>                . . .

</Items>

</telerik:radtoolbar>

js:

<script type="text/javascript">
function pageLoad()
{
    var toolBar = $find("<%=RadToolBar1.ClientID %>");
    var item = toolBar.findItemByText('Button 0');
    var combo = item.findControl('Box1');
    var input = combo.get_inputDomElement();
    input.focus();
    combo.selectText();
}
</script>

Thanks,
Princy.
