Remove focus after grid selection using dataBound event and selectRows() method.

[Goutham]

Hi,

     I am using external search box(using ejs-textbox) for searching grid.i.e calling an rest api for every input (using input event) to get searched results.When i get searched result,filling the grid with searched result and selecting some of the rows using event dataBound and method selectRows(),this process fine for my requirement,But problem arise where i am losing focus of search box after selecting rows.

Requirement:Focus should be on search box ,so that user can type continuously.

reference screen:

Thank you .

Hi Goutham, 

Thanks for contacting Syncfusion. 

You can achieve your requirement by calling the focusIn method of TextBox component inside the dataBound event. Please find the below code snippet: 

[app.component.html] 

. . .  

<ejs-textbox #textbox (input)="input($event)"></ejs-textbox> 

    <ejs-grid #grid [dataSource]='data' (dataBound)="dataBound($event)" height='350'> 

        <e-columns> 

          <e-column type="checkbox" width='50'></e-column> 

            <e-column field='CustomerID' headerText='Customer ID' width='120' textAlign='Right'></e-column>             

        </e-columns> 

    </ejs-grid> 

. . .  

[App.component.ts] 

. . . 

ngOnInit(): void { 

        this.data = orderDetails; 

    } 

    input(e){ 

      this.flag=true; 

      this.grid.search(e.value);       

    } 

    dataBound(e){ 

      if(this.flag){ 

      this.grid.selectRows([1,2]); 

      this.flag= false; 

     setTimeout((e)=>{ this.Search_box.focusIn();},) 

      } 

    }

Thank you for your quick response.

The above mentioned problem has solved but the selection of records is changing for every search according to index.

requirement: pre-selection should happen by ids (primary key id) not by index.

is there any way to get searched records(rendered),so that i can filter again to select row indexes(by ids) for event dataBound.

Hi Goutham, 

You can get the search result in the “beforeDataBound” event of Grid component. The “args.result” will contain the Grid records.
