I can't seem to get this to work. I have a simple Login page with 2 textboxes. I've tried all of the normal methods, plus a few things I've seen in this forum. None of them are working. I am using ASP.NET 4, VS 2010 and the LATEST build of the Telerik Controls. My HTML for the page is listed below. I've tried "OnClientShow"...the Javascript fires, but the button never visually looks like it has focus and no error appears. I'm debugging with IE 8.

Help?

thanks

function OnClientShow(sender, eventArgs)

 //

try

 //

{

//

var textbox = document.getElementById("<%= txtUserName.ClientID

%>"); //

//var textbox =

document.getElementById("RadWindow1$C$txtUserName"); //

//for

testing... //

//alert(textbox.name);

//

if (textbox != null)

{ //

Focus'); //

Niskya:

There are some detailed insights provided in the Problem with RadTextBox.Focused in Telerik 2010Q1 forum thread response from Deyan (Telerik Admin) in his May 26, 2010 reply. These should point you in the right direction.

"The RadTextBox control hosts a standard TextBox control and extends its functionality by providing support for the Telerik Presentation Framework (theming, dependency properties etc.). Since the control itself is not the focused control (but the TextBox inside) the Focused property will not be set to true. However, you can use the ContainsFocus property. This property will always be true when a control inside the current control is focused."

Hope this helps!
