set focus to an individual cell in radgrid

[EJ]

i read somewhere about a currentrow and currentcolumn but I think i was reading about the winform controls - how do you do this on the webform asp.net controls? I want to set the focus to the first row second column cell in the editor

i want to do this on the server side if possible - could be on the client side but i prefer not having to deal with javascript if possible

Hello EJ,

I would suggest that you review the following help article:

that makes a javascript that run on the client side

my problem is that I need to conditionally (not all the time) set the focus to a particular cell in the grid from the server side

i have a linkbutton that determines where the focus should be and may set the focus to a radtextbox or it may set the focus to a particular cell in the grid. both the linkbutton and the radgrid are in an updatepanel. when the linbutton_clicked server event fires it does processing to tell where to put the focus to on the page next. the part of the server side code that does radtextbox.focus() works fine but I'm not sure how to invoke the javascript function made using the code you referred to me from the server conditionally from server side code on the linkbutton_clicked event.

i tried the non javascript option and it seems to work - thanks!
