RadGrid Inline Add - Default Focus

[Mike]

My customer would like the default focus set so when they click the add new record button the focus is set to the first textbox on the input line so they can begin typing without having to click the field first. Is this possible? I don't see any settings that would suggest so. Perhaps a sneaky code behind trick? Any tips greatly appreciated.

Hello Mike,

protected void RadGrid1_ItemDataBound(object sender, GridItemEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.Item is GridEditableItem && e.Item.IsInEditMode)
        {
            GridEditableItem item = e.Item as GridEditableItem;

            // bound column
            (item["ID"].Controls[0] as TextBox).Focus();

            //textbox control in edititemtemplate in template column
            (item.FindControl("txtparent") as TextBox).Focus();
        }
}

Thanks,
