Set focus in edit mode

[Sorin Rojea]

I have a GridGroupingControl with some text columns and Edit, Delete columns.
The FormEditMode is not set so it uses the default inline editing.

When I click the Edit link button on a row, I want to set the focus on the first text box that shows up.

How do I do that?

I tried the following but it didn't work

void UserGrid_RowDataBound(object sender, RowDataBoundEventArgs e)
{
for (int i = 0; i < e.Row.Cells.Count; i++)
{
if (((GridCell)(e.Row.Cells[i])).ColumnDescriptor != null)
{

if (((GridCell)(e.Row.Cells[i])).ColumnDescriptor.Name == "FirstName")
{
if (e.Element.GetRowIndex() == SelectedRowIndex)
{
if (e.Row.Cells[i].Controls.Count > 0)
{
Control c = e.Row.Cells[i].Controls[0];
if (c != null)
{
c.Focus();
}
}
}
}
}
}
}

Hi Sorin,

Thanks for using Syncfusion Products.

Your requirement of setting focus to textbox on clicking EditLinkButtton can be achieved by setting Focus to corresponding cell.

Please refer the below code snippet.

[Codebehind - C#]

void GridGroupingControl1_RowDataBound(object sender, Syncfusion.Web.UI.WebControls.Grid.Grouping.RowDataBoundEventArgs e)
{
for (int i = 0; i < e.Row.Cells.Count; i++)
{
if (((GridCell)(e.Row.Cells[i])).ColumnDescriptor != null)
{
if (((GridCell)(e.Row.Cells[i])).ColumnDescriptor.Name == "ID")
{
if (e.Element.GetRowIndex() == selectedrowindex )
{
e.Row.Cells[i].Focus();
}
}
}
}
}

For your convenience, we have created a sample and the same can be downloaded from the following link.
