Set first control focus in pageview when RadTab selected

[Andrew Zhao]

I have a RadTabStrip control in which contails multiple RadTabs associated with the RadPageView. In each pageview, there are several web controls like textbox, checkbox. To support keyboard accessibility, when RadTab is selected by pressing enter key, a pageview is shown, and the first control in pageview needs to be set on focus for user to enter input. But so far, you have to tab through all RadTabs and then get focus on the controls in pageview. How can I change the tab order to the controls in pageview when the RadTab is selected?

Hello Andrew,

I suggest you subscribe to OnClientTabSelected event of the tabstrip and in its handler:

function tabSelected(sender, args) {
   args.get_tab().get_pageView().get_element().firstChild.focus();
}

Note that focusable controls should be the first controls in the pageviews.

Kind regards,
