RadDatePicker and RadAjaxManager1.FocusControl

[Matthew Johnson]

quick question (can't seem to find an answer by searching)


I have a raddatepicker inside an AJAX panel everything on the form works fine, but I can't seem to set focus to it from the server side.

I can set focus to a radtextbox sitting directly beside the datepicker.

on the server side

This works
RadAjaxManaer.FocusControl(txtMyRadTextbox)

this does not work
RadAjaxManaer.FocusControl(rdpMyRadDatePicker)

any suggestions???

Hi Matthew,

In order to set the focus for the DatePicker you should use its DateInput control. For example:

RadAjaxManager1.FocusControl(RadDatePicker1.DateInput);

Let me know it this helps.

Yea.... I did try that and it did not work for me.  I also tried defining an ID for the <DateInput > tag/control and defined runat="server" and didn't work either.

However, using the tip you provided (and "viewing the source" of the page) I was able to get it to work using 

RadAjaxManager1.FocusControl(rdpMyDatePicker.DateInput.ClientID &

"_text")

I was also able to the the radcombobox working using 

RadAjaxManager1.FocusControl(cboMyRadCombo.ClientID & "_input")

Thanks,

matthew
