Hi Rodrigo,

The RadWindow loads external pages in an iframe, which is the only way to achieve such functionality in HTML. This means that in some cases the page will be from a different domain so we cannot access it via JavaScript due to the standard browser cross-domain restrictions. Moreover, we do not know which element should get focus when a RadWindow is activated, or even if an element should be, which is why we cannot incorporate this logic in the control.

Nevertheless I can suggest a way to achieve the desired behavior - attach to the OnClientActivate event and use the RadWindow's client-side API to get a reference to the content page (get_contentFrame() method) or content element if you are using its ContentTemplate (get_contentElement() method). In case you load an external page this help article will show you how to call a function inside. Then you can use jQuery to find an element inside and call its focus() method. This element can have a custom CSS class, e.g. .defaultFocusElement so you can get it easily.


All the best,
