I googled for a solution to this and didn't find a clear one, so I
thought I'd pass along what I ended up with.
In the PreRender event of the DataGrid, I execute the following code:
private void myGrid_PreRender(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
foreach (DataGridItem item in myGrid.Items)
{
foreach (Control ctl in item.Cells[0].Controls)
{
if (ctl.GetType() == typeof(System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox))
{
controlToFocus = ctl.UniqueID;
return;
}
}
}
}
In this method, controlToFocus is a page-level protected string. You
can customize the innermost foreach and if statements to find any
particular control you want to set the focus to - this example sets
the focus on the first TextBox it finds in the first column. Since I
only have TextBoxes when I'm ready to add or edit, this is fine.
Then, in the html, I have the following bits:
function setFocus()
{
ctl = "<%= controlToFocus %>";
if (ctl != "")
{
document.forms("my_form").elements(ctl).focus();
}
}
And:
<body onload="setFocus();">
Hope you find this useful...
