you can use this also.

This is what I use for a c# page.

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e){

SetFocus(Login1.FindControl("UserName"));

}

</script>

I try this but it seems it doesn't set the focus in the UserName textbox.

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

Login1.Focus();

}

The focus will be put on the first eligible control within the Login control - UserName textbox.

I had to translate it so it would work with masterpage and codebehind.

I came across this. Works great. Now even the default button is set if you press enter.

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

SetFocus(Login1)

Dim ctl As Control = Login1.FindControl("LoginButton")

Login1.Attributes.Add("onkeypress", String.Format("javascript:return WebForm_FireDefaultButton(event, '{0}')", ctl.ClientID))

End Sub

GoodLuck

I have modified the login on the main page slightly. I deleted the PWS login and replaced it with one of the default Login controls in VWD. See www.robgibson.ca . What I would like is to have the default focus set to the username text box within the control. I have tried a few of the solutions presented in the posts here but I can't seem to get anything to work.

Suggestions?

Rob

This is why I so love ASP.NET 2.0. LoginForm is the id of the asp:login control and UserName is the name of the textbox in that control. You should probably check to see if either the login or txt vars are nothing before you try to do the SetFocus.

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load

Dim login As System.Web.UI.WebControls.Login = LoginArea.FindControl("LoginForm")

Dim txt As TextBox = login.FindControl("UserName")

Page.SetFocus(txt)

End Sub

I should of got this right the first time. Here is probably the best way.

Dim tmpTextbox As New TextBox
Dim tmpLogin As New System.Web.UI.WebControls.Login

tmpLogin = CType(LoginArea.FindControl("Login1"), System.Web.UI.WebControls.Login)

If Not tmpLogin Is Nothing Then
tmpTextbox = CType(tmpLogin.FindControl("UserName"), TextBox)
End If

If Not tmpTextbox Is Nothing Then
tmpTextbox.Focus()
End If

Rob,

This works for me. I'm sure there is a better way to do this by looking up the textbox id first rather than hard coding what we view in the page source. View the source in the browser to see the name of the control that asp.net uses, plug it in to the getElementById, and give it a try.

' Initialize a stringbuilder object, much faster than string concatenation

' Do not do any string concatenations within the string builder or it defeats the purpose.

Dim scriptLoader As New System.Text.StringBuilder()

With scriptLoader
   .Append("<script type='text/javascript'>")
   .Append(vbCrLf)
   .Append("var txtBox=document.getElementById('ctl00_Main_LoginArea_Login1_UserName');")
   .Append(vbCrLf)
   .Append("if (txtBox!=null ) txtBox.focus();")
   .Append(vbCrLf)
   .Append("</script>")

' Register script with page
Me.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(Me.GetType(), "onLoadCall", .ToString())

End With

Rob,

Are you using a LoginView control?

That's what I'm using. I tried this:

Dim tmpTextbox As New TextBox

tmpTextbox = CType(LoginArea.FindControl("UserName"), TextBox)

If Not tmpTextbox Is Nothing Then

tmpTextbox.Focus()

End If

testBox.Focus()

The focus wont set to the textbox inside the loginview control.

However, the focus sets fine in the textbox outside the control.

I'm sure it can be done through javascript. I look at it a bit.
