How to select a textbox inside a page?

[George Saveliev]

Hello!

If I create a simple RadForm with a single RadTextBox, this text box is selected (gets input focus and shows cursor) automatically when the form is shown. If I create a simple RadForm with a RadPageView and place the RadTextBox into the page, it is not selected automatically when the form is shown.

Even the following code does not select the text box:

protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
{
    base.OnLoad(e);

    radTextBox1.Focus();
    radTextBox1.Select(0, 0);
}

The following workaround does work, but I do not think this is a way I should go:

protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
{
    base.OnLoad(e);

    Application.Idle += Application_Idle;
}

void Application_Idle(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    Application.Idle -= Application_Idle;
    radTextBox1.Focus();
    radTextBox1.Select(0, 0);
}

So, how should I correctly select the text box in the PageView page when the form is shown?

Thank you.

Hello,

It should be fine if you move the code

radTextBox1.Focus();
radTextBox1.Select(0, 0);

to the FormShown event, not the FormLoad event.

Hope that helps
