How to set focus to ejDropDownList

[Nga]

Hi,

When I move between elements using Tab key, I can see ejDropDownList element is focused and I can easily select option using arrow key.

I have a case that checks if value is not yet selected, it will show error message and set focus to the element. How to manually set focus to it? I used showPopup() method but it does not meet my expectation. I expect it to behave like I am using Tab key.

Thanks.

Hi Nga,   

  

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion Support.   

  

Based on your scenario, you can focus the DropDownList by using wrapper element.    

  

Please refer to the below code example:   

  

<Code>   

  

var inst = $('#skillsets').ejDropDownList("instance");   

        inst.wrapper.focus();   

  

</code>
