[Solved] RadAjaxManager1.FocusControl(RadTextBox1.ClientID) not working?

[Remko]

Still new to discovering the possibilities...:-)
I have a RadTextbox1 in an asp:panel which on first page load is set to invisible.
I have an image button that initiates a radmanager ajex request to update the panel, server behind code switches the visibility of the panel on, then  :-

RadAjaxManager1.FocusControl(RadTextBox1.ClientID);

The screen does a couple of flickers but the focus is still on the image button, not the text box.

Am i missing something here?

Hello Kevin,

The different methods for setting focus in our input controls (depending on the context) are listed in this topic from the online documentation:

http://www.telerik.com/help/radcontrols/prometheus/?input_CommonFocus.html

Note that you need to append "_text" suffix at the end in order to reference the input element holding the text value.

Excellent, thanks.
Out of interest, in error i changed my focus statement to :-

RadAjaxManager1.FocusControl(RadTextBox1.ClientID+

"_text");

which isn't documented as a possibility in the link that you specify.
Can you tell me what the difference is between the above and the recommended statement of :-

RadScriptManager1.SetFocus(RadTextBox1.ClientID+

"_text");

Kevin.

Hi Kevin,

Actually there should be no difference whether you use RadAjaxManager's FocusControl or ScriptManager's SetFocus method to set gain focus in your RadTextBox. Both methods serve the same purpose.
