Hi ,

I am having a problem.

in my page i have a ModalPopupExtender in which i have a textbox.

when user click on new button.this modelpopextender open and textbox is focused.

I am using below code to do this.

mpeNewCompany.Show()

txtNewCompany.Focus()

Up to here..code is running fine.

Not i have another page and from that page i am navigating to this page which is having modelpopup.

i am checking on page load, if the page is redirecting from that page, then whithout clicking on new, i am prompting modelpopupextender.This is also working fine.

But i want when the model popup get open , the focus should be on textbox.This is not happening. I am using the same code for focus. Below is the code which i am calling at Page load.

CheckNewEdit()

Try

'If company Id is 0 then it is redirected to add new company

'otherwise this page has been redirected to edit records of existing company

Then

ibtnPrint.Enabled =

False

ibtnReferesh.Enabled =

False

ibtnSave.Enabled =

False

cmdNew.Enabled =

True

Then

txtNewCompany.Text =

""

lblNewError.Text =

""

If

Else

ibtnPrint.Enabled =

True

ibtnReferesh.Enabled =

True

ibtnSave.Enabled =

True

cmdNew.Enabled =

True

If

Exception

ShowError(

& ex.Message)

Try

Sub

I've noticed that sometimes calling focus on a control when using AJAX doesn't always work.  I've always had success using the Scriptmanager to set focus

ScriptManager.GetCurrent(Me.Page).SetFocus(txtNewCompany)

saurabh.15in what strlarmon suggested you should help.

Generally Control.Focus will cause when page renders register script that will fire <your control client id>.focus() script.

However when using ajax this script will be executed beofre $create's of any IScriptControl is evaluated, thus your control which lives inside the popup is not yet created and <your control client id>.focus() does nothing. ScriptManager method does essentially same thing except that this will be executed when all the scripts are fully loaded and your control is already on the page.

This will do the trick for you ;)

To set focus and select text of a you have to use the following:
 

ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, this.GetType(), "selectAndFocus", "$get('" + myTextBox.ClientID + "').focus();$get('" + myTextBox.ClientID + "').select();", true);
